Actress Kaniha, who is currently shooting for Suresh Gopi-starrer Rudrasimhasanam, recently shot in a location close to a temple. Apparently, the actress happened to watch certain rituals followed in the temple. Later,
Kaniha posted on her social networking page that she felt disturbed after watching the rituals. She wrote: “Almost every hour either a goat or a chicken gets beheaded and is offered to the deity...
the cry of those helpless animals filled the place... this is a practice I am told that is being followed for many years and in various other temples...
I am a believer in God whom I believe is the creator of life.. why do they sacrifice yet another life as an offering to Him? There must be a reasonable amount of rationale to anything we do...I fail to understand the reasoning behind this...isn't this animal cruelty?? I couldn't do anything to stop them..I'm glad I have y'all to whom I can vent out my feelings...(sic)”
