Who are we to question ancient Dothraki traditions?
If this were (what’s the proper PC term now) first world native person’s child they would be celebrating the ritual as showing a deep respect to native culture and ancient ways. BUT, since it’s some white devil, it’s evil.
A few years back Sarah Palin hosted a show called “Sarah Palin’s Alaska”.
In a couple of episodes, Sarah shot a caribou.
A hate mail piece she received after that episode was from a woman who told her she should get her meat from the grocery where they make it, so no animals would be harmed.
two things in response to Is Hunting Ritual too Extreme?
1. It’s New Zealand, not California, so since we have no business sticking our nose in it, as the original article author did, lay off!
2. No. The eating of the heart by the first time hunter is something that transcends time. It is a Native American rite of passage. I am not speaking of Kevin Costner here, i mean the real deal. It is a spiritual thing.
Now posting it to rub the world’s nose in it, is a bit much, but nevertheless, it is THEIR business, not our’s.
