Do they eat them?

From the article:

The slaughtered animals are taken back by devotees to their villages and eaten during a feast.

So basically they kill a bunch of animals and eat them during this religious holiday which occurs every five years. Personally, the notion of animal sacrifice in religion seems repugnant to me - but killing and eating livestock isn't much of a story.

Agreed.

But man, those are some bony looking animals. I am glad I live here...for now.

We, on the other hand, will kill tens of millions of turkeys for our annual Thanksgiving celebration and 35 million + cattle every year ... I'm not seeing a problem here.

Mmmmm ... meat
