Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Thailand locals sacrificed Doraemon teddy instead of a real female cat for rain-making ceremony.
With no rain for several months in many areas of Thailand and a record breaking heatwave, a rain-making ceremony was held. Traditionally, a real cat would be used, but it seems the locals decided on Doraemon instead—a modern twist against animal cruelty.
Thailand is taking this news very seriously. There is concern over the legitimacy of the rain dance, it it said that the tradition requires a female cat, however, Doraemon is a male cat. The news presenter said “they should’ve used Dorami instead”.
The presenters correctly brought up the fact that this rain dance, despite the absence of real cats, still serves an important purpose: to notify the community of a real problem.
This alarm bell enables people to come together to share resources and provides psychological relief.
For clarification, cats were never sacrificed in Thailand’s rain dance tradition but were instead placed in cages where they were paraded around and splashed with water. The intent was never to harm them but to invoke rain symbolically, the practice has of course evolved.
