Bolivia’s Tinku Festival

A group of people getting together to punch the blood out of each other in the name of the harvest

 

The Tinku Festival of Bolivia is perhaps one of the most violent, non-animal related events that one could experience.  It takes place in May of each year and the theme of the event is shedding blood to give to the Earth to ensure a good harvest.  People get together and ritually beat the tar out of each other and it concerns no sporting events.
