History

The Busójárás is an annual celebration, ending the day before Ash Wednesday. The celebration features Busó - people wearing traditional masks and includes folk music, masquerading, parades and dancing. Busójárás lasts six days, usually during February. It starts on Thursday, followed by the carnival on Friday, with the biggest celebration, on the seventh Sunday before Easter Sunday. The celebration ends on the following Tuesday. Number of participants reaches around 50 thousands every year.

Locals explain the Carnival with a legend. People wearing traditional masks are scaring away the winter. In any case, the locals have celebrated the Busójárás in early February every year ever since, hosting "guest Busó teams" from neighboring countries.

TAKE A TRIP

Thousands of people who say they 'love' animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs.

I think if you want to eat more meat you should kill it yourself and eat it raw so that you are not blinded by the hypocrisy of having it processed for you.
