d e v i c e Posted July 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I've known about this tradition for sometime. Purely practical though not for the faint of heart to see. It just shows you our real place in the natural scheme of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy Demon Posted July 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2013 To us it may seem callous and heartless but in mountainous regions they have no plots of land for burials or even cremation so...dismembering the body is the best solution though I'd find it hard to watch a friend or family member being chopped up for vulture chow. In the end we are all eventually food for something else be it the vultures or the lowly grass and mushrooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
