Brutal festival at Nem Thuong village, Vietnam - PHOTO+VIDEO

This is one Vietnamese festival that makes even non animal lovers cringe.Every year, at a village near Hanoi, a pig is brutally chopped into two so that people can smear banknotes with its blood in the belief that it would bring luck. The festival is known as the most brutal in the country and is condemned by many, including some who called already on the government to stop the festival.ANN.Az
