Oh no.

So I'm kinda lost, dude on the bike wrecked so they tied him up, cut him up and fed him to the vultures? Then after the vultures ate him, they opened up all the bones to get anything inside the bones that was left out so the vultures can eat that shit? Then the birds are just gonna shit him out? Is this some kind of serious tradition or is it just internet out of contextness?

Call me old fashioned but when I die, I want a coffin and a headstone and everyone will come to see me in the funeral home and talk about how great I am, then they will bury me and everyone lese will forget about me after a week or so except for a few people who come to worship the ground I lay in year after year. Actually I really dont care what happens to me, I'm already dead

Oh no.

That was so sad, the plastic bottle indian guy crying!

Nope. They tied him up so he would fit in the car. And yes, this is the real deal in Tibet.

The whole slashing him up thing was kinda creepy. But whatever, dudes dead. My uncle wanted his ashes to be shot out of a cannon over the grand canyon.

[racedoll]

That's f*d up.

If you read the comments you'll see why they do this.

[Mr Lefty]

call me wierd... but I don't give a fuck what happens to me after I pass... they could use me as bate to catch sharks...

what matters is the time between now and then... THAT'S what people should worry about. IMO...

[azoomm]

I think it makes more sense than cemeteries.

I saw this photo series online before but it claimed to be about drug cartel or gang retaliation. That seemed pretty far-fetched, but either way I don't think the guy on the motorcycle is the one being fed to the birds.

[Mr Lefty]

no way that was the guy on the motorcycle... that body was drained of blood... hence no blood on any slashes...

I couldn't watch it I don't think... but I have no problem with it... makes perfect sense with the Tibetan way of thinking... all life is scared.. so returning to it is a given

[Rangerscott]

The guy on the moto is bringing the body to the site. He's in the black cloth behind the rider.

I see on the top of the page that it said travel and tourism, having just left a webpage about motorcycle travel and seeing the 3rd photo where it looks like 3 guys are picking up the bike I jumped to the very logical conclusion that the dude died in a bike accident.

But sad indian is still sad

What an ingenius way to dispose of a body. I mean you have to make it applealing to the birds, but hey.

[ericr]

What? They don't think worms need to eat in Tibet? Racist bastards!!

Does save digging a big f'ing hole though.
