its not messed up at all. its just a cultural taboo that everyone has. of course it may look wrong in our eyes but in their world its a perfectly normal thing.
 
oh I get it, they had that rope around its neck to restrict the flow of blood to the artery, so when they cut it its not like it was gonna kill it..... yah thats pretty wack that they did that but its their culture so I guess its normal?
 


wow, thats kinda cool how they don't kill the cow for meat like we do.

Cow Blood

The traditional diet of the Masai (also spelled

Maasai) people in Kenya and Tanzania is derived mostly from their

cattle, though they do not often eat beef; rather, they eat milk and

blood which is harvested by puncturing the loose flesh on the cow's

neck with an arrow. The wound is closed after a gourdfull of blood is

obtained. This operation can be repeated every month or so with no harm

to the cow. The Masai typically drink blood mixed with milk.

Cow

blood is also consumed by other rural people, usually to avoid wasting

it when a cow is butchered. (Europeans also use blood in black pudding, boudin noir and blutwurst.)

Cow blood can be cooked with fresh or sour milk as follows: Pour the

fresh blood through a sieve to separate it from the clots. Mix three

parts liquid blood to one part milk (or equal parts blood and sour

milk). Cook over low heat, stirring often, for twenty to thirty

minutes. The mixture should thicken like scrambled eggs. If desired,

butter, fried chopped onions, or salt can be added during cooking.

Serve with Ugali, Fufu, or boiled Plantains, or Rice.

 
talk about high blood pressure. even tho it seems weird i'll bet none of the people that do that are anemic. anemia is one of the most common diseases in america.
 
it was an artery for sure, but its not like it was cut open, just a hole punctured in it, and they also had that rope around its neck to hold the blood flow
 
Hmmmmmm wierd...Well I just know it's an artery(been learning all week about the blood and heart in Medical Anatomy) BUT We shouldn't be fighting about something as stupid as that soooooo FRIENDS!
 
My school went for a mission trip, and that village was about a mile away from our camp. We had to pay them a shit load of money to show us their rituals haha. they did it a bunch of times though. And sometimes they mix the blood with milk so it clots, and then your a really honored Masai tribesman if you get the big clot. its so growse
