Man Sets Himself Ablaze To Protest The Killing Of Cattle

A Buddhist monk has set himself on fire to
protest the slaughter of cattle in Sri Lanka.
According to Mail Online, the incident took place

Buddha's Tooth Relic, in the town of Kandy. A
police spokesperson claimed the temple holds
particular religious significance for Buddhists.
The monk suffered severe burn injuries and was
