CHICKEN CEREMONY ROOTED IN ANCIENT RITES
CONGJIANG
A village in southwest China staged a
traditional wedding ritual this week that
pits ancient traditions against modern
views on animal welfare in a fast
changing country.
The ceremony held in the ethnic Kam
minority village of Gantuan in Guizhou
province is based on a tradition dating
back some 500 years that was revived
and modified in the 1990s for villagers
and tourists.
I feel a little nervous and a little
happy,” Shi Litao, a 26-year-old
bride wearing heavy layers of
makeup and a colourful costume,
said before the ceremony on the
Chinese New Year.
The event, known locally as “steal
the chicken at the drum tower”,
involves young men competing to
be the first to tear apart live birds
carried on poles by new brides into
the village centre.

Jan. 31 , 2017

In the 1990s the village
introduced a modified version
of the ceremony that still
involves young men tearing
the live birds from the poles
carried by the brides.
Huang defended the
ceremony, saying there had
been no public opposition to
the annual event.
"This is our custom and this
has never generated any
controversy,” he said.
It is rooted in the past when a
bride was expected to marry a
cousin, according to village chief
Huang Xuexian.
Jan. 31 , 2017

“It was later that people realised this was not the
correct way to marry. Now we have the freedom
to marry whom we want,” he said.
Jan. 31 , 2017

Pet ownership and better education on animal
welfare have fuelled greater public sympathy for
animal rights, activists say, but legal protection
proposed in 2009 has not been implemented.
“China does not have a comprehensive law for
ensuring the wellbeing of all animals or an anti-
cruelty law for protecting animals,” said Peter Li,
China policy advisor for Humane Society
International. He blamed “business interests
involved in animal exploitation such as bear
farming.”
Jan. 31 , 2017

If she wished to marry outside the family, her suitor and cousin would compete to be the first
to bite off the head of a tethered chicken or duck and "win" the bride. This ritual was
abandoned long ago as attitudes on marriage changed, said Huang.

Violent Berkeley Protests Force
Cancellation of Yiannopoulos Talk
People march in front of Sproul Hall to protest the appearance of Breitbart
News editor Milo Yiannopoulos on Feb. 1, 2017, in Berkeley, Calif.
A crowd protesting a far-right commentator's appearance at the University of
California at Berkeley hurled smoke bombs, broke windows and sparked a
massive bonfire, prompting officials to call off the event.
The decision came two hours before Wednesday's talk by Milo Yiannopoulos,
a polarizing editor of Breitbart News, after some 1,500 people had gathered
outside the venue.
Ben Margot / AP
Feb. 1 , 2017

People protest Yiannopoulos' appearance in
Berkeley. Prior to the burst of violence, hundreds of
peaceful demonstrators had been protesting the
appearance for hours.
Yiannopoulos, a 32-year-old right-wing provocateur,
is a vocal supporter of Trump and a self-proclaimed
internet troll whose comments have been criticized
as racist, misogynist, anti-Muslim and white
supremacist. He was banned from Twitter after
leading a harassment campaign against
"Ghostbusters" actress Leslie Jones.
His visit to Berkeley was sponsored by the campus
Republican club. The university has stressed it did
not invite him and does not endorse his ideas but is
committed to free speech and rejected calls to cancel
the event.

playing music and marched off campus

People shout pro-government slogans during a rally in front of the
Cotroceni presidential palace in Bucharest, Feb. 5, 2017. Romania's
government held an emergency session on Feb. 4, following mass
protests against a controversial ordnance passed late on Jan. 31. The
emergency decree would have decriminalized certain corruption
offences, raising concerns in Romania and outside that the government
was easing up on fighting graft. Center-right President Klaus Iohannis,
elected in 2014 on an anti-graft platform, had previously called the
decree "scandalous" and moved to invoke the constitutional court. The
contentious corruption legislation immediately sparked what became
the biggest protests since the fall of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in 1989,
prompting officials to announce late Saturday that they would rescind
the bill. The impromptu announcement was followed by an official
statement on Sunday, Feb. 5. Still, demonstrators remained on the
streets into the night.
