Shit if that was the US they would have just thrown the poor bastard in the trash can, nice to see this type of love and respect for animals.

from what i understood from the video, in reverence to their religion they cremate , bless certain animals because of association with gods, reincarnation etc.
To me it seems to be misguided respect. sorry to be a downer.

Usually I`d go on about religion being stupid but it`s nice to see a culture respect something so trivial as a dead monkey. The whole world could learn something from this. People today don`t have enough respect for anyone or anything.

Makes me want to be cremated just in case these guys are right... I`d hate to be stuck in a nasty embalmed body 6 feet underground.

Agree 100% with chech. It`s nice to see this kind of respect for life, even a monkey`s, compared to some of the shit going on in the world today.

@chech Agreed. But you don`t need religion to have respect for something. I`m an atheist,.. but would also have been saddened to see a dead decomposing monkey on my door step (or dog, cat, christian, etc...)

Please, don`t stop bad mouthing religion.

ive been to india, and to jodhpur, religion is just a way of life there, the whole country is so backwards compaired to the west,

but its still somewhat spiritual. i hated it when i was there, but after i had left.. i truly appreciated how amazing it really is
