Animal sacrifice is a cruel act. And under the Animal Act, cruelty against animals is illegal. Despite this fact, the Chilaw Police proceeded to stop a peaceful rally against the inhumane act and disregarded complaints against it.
The rally was organized with the support of clergy and a large number of animal lovers against the animal sacrifice which was taken place at the Munneswaram Temple, Chilaw on 25th August.
On the way to the temple, Police interfered this peaceful rally citing a courts ordinance. Around 1000 police officers proceeded to stop the rally and the animal sacrifice was carried out without any interference.
The law protected an illegal practice while stopping the people who spoke out against it.
Is this what Sri Lanka has come to?

We are hindus. We never accept this kind of madness.
Ple do your best to stop this madness, will support as much as we can.
That’s a scary situation… the police actually defending cruelty against animals. Still I think you should NOT give up the fight. In the end, justice will prevail.
