I've never seen such callous cruelty, and if I hadn't seen those pictures of
all those grinning hindoos hacking at the necks and bodies of those hundreds
of thousands of peaceful, gentle young animals, I would find it difficult
to believe such horror exists in this world. Jai Maharaj goes to great
lengths portraying hindoos as being respectful toward animals but, as we can
see by those pictures in that article, they are evil and repulsive toward
them beyond belief. And just look at their grinning hindoo spectators
covering every branch of every tree, often crouched on top of each other
like bugs to get a better view; they're just as evil as the younger hindoo
barbarians carrying out the attacks.

I rejected the lies and all the manipulations that maintain religion when
merely a young boy still struggling to master the 7 times table, and I've
grown to detest it more and more ever since.
