That's interesting. Can I get a link?

 

[scienz of life]

Yeah my geography professor was tellin us about this the other day.

He said he actually got to witness one in person and said it was pretty brutal.

why not just burn the bodies?

it seems liek that would make the vultures more aggressive towards humans in the area and they might become more predator than scavenger


maybe not *shrugs*

 

[jumpman247]

That is kind of cool, I'd like to go out like that honestly. Chop me up and feed me to the animals who we take so much of anyway. Grind me up and put meinto alpo dog food then feed me to my dog Gina.

too much like work.
I look at pics, period

nah, youre probably right...I just glossed over it and saw something about the ground being to hard to bury the bodies
just read it.....how much fuel does it take to burn a body? a pile of grass, a couple sticks and a match, no?

It's part of their tradition and beliefs. Who's to say your beliefs are in any way superior to theirs? Like putting a dead body in awooden box under ground makes any sense.
