We express our indignation for the brutal and cruel traditional festival of Nem Thuong village in Vietnam. A live pig is brutally chopped into two with a large blade while it is totally conscious. Then, the villagers rush to smear their banknotes with the blood of the pig, in the belief that it will bring good luck in the New Year.
It is shameful and morally reprehensible that in 2013 animals being killed in the name of traditions so I ask you to STOP immediately this utterly pointless and horrific practice.

We citizens of all around the world ask the Vietnamese Government to end to this practice. The image of Vietnam depends also on these decisions. The modernity of a nation can be seen also in these changes.

We all thank you if you will listen to our pledge.

Thanks to all who signed this petition, and also to the supporters who gave us suggestions for improving this action. We can spread the news and find new supporters. That's why our new goal is now 15000 people to sign and our new deadline is March, 31 2013. Then our signature will be downloaded and sent to the Vietnamese Government. We will try to involve also some associations for animals' rights in Asia.

Thank you.

OMG in Heaven, what the HELL is wrong with people? I am appalled daily by the ignorance and cruelty of humans, there is no reason for this barbaric intentional cruel practice. PLEASE STOP teaching this sadistic behavior to your children!

Do we still live in the Stone Age? This is barbaric, evil, pure animal cruelty, and the b******s who are committing, and watching this are not fit to breath the same air as the animals. Bring back hanging, and put these in the line-up.

evil fucking filthy cruel race

So cruel, but so is our factory farmed animals, trapping, shooting wolves from helicopters, gassing wolves in their dens (pups), etc. Don't think the U.S. is any less cruel! All cruelty inflicted on animals needs to stop. If you eat pork it is just as badly treated here in the U.S.

AGREE WITH YOU

Unfortunately, in some areas, there is a festival to sacrifice animals in Japan、also.
Probably, such a custom was necessary in old day.
But it's not necessary in modern times.
Because the old time people really prayed to God for help, I think.
I wonder how the watching people feel?
If they are enjoying to watch it.......the people's sense are crazy.

Re Re Staffieri

I believe they enjoy it. They probably wouldnt be there if not. And IF there are people there who are making a fuss about it, they were probably thrown out.
