J’rai people’s ritual slaughter

J'rai ethnic minority people have a unique ritual for slaughtering livestock, showing their solidarity despite their poverty life. Meat put next to wine jar This ethnic minority is located in Rac Village, the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai. Animals: cows, pigs, goats, which are old and weak are slaughtered in a traditional and solemn ceremony. Owners inform villagers one week before the ritual so that Can wine can be prepared. Then older bovines and goats are kept and cared for, for the fattening. These are considered their final days and the owners want them to enjoy this time. Animals are carefully bathed before the ceremony, which usually takes place in the morning. Different parts are clearly separated. The head is kept whole and placed on New Year's Tree or Neu, facing the house. This represents an offering for heaven and also announces the opening of the festival. When the head is removed from the tree, it signals the end of festivities.The meat will be used to make dishes and some meat will be kept and then cut into small pieces of 100 grammes each to be placed next to wine jar. When the party is over, the owners of the jars will be allowed to bring the meat home for their families who were not at the party. All internal organs are thrown away, except for the heart and liver, which are put into the largest wine jar as an offering. After that, the village elder and the owner drink the wine together, before the rest of the villagers. Everyone should have an enjoyable meal. People here are very hospitable. Any guest will be readily welcomed, and offered as much wine as they can drink. Mr. Yan decided to slaughter the cow that his family raised for 10 years in order to treat his neighbours. Each participant brought a jar of wine. He said happily that, "We are family members. I've had this type of party for two days straight."
