    In Tibet, they don't have funerals where they put the body in the ground. I heard the Chinese had cracked down on it, but there used to be the case where bodies would be left out in the open and Birds or whatever would take care of the rest. The people in Tibet, who I think are Buddhist, believed it was a way for someone to make a final contribution to the life cycle I think, as food for the Birds or other animals.

    Makes sense as well because there isn't much soil to dig up high up in the mountains of Tibet nor much wood to burn a body.

    Yep, it's called a Sky Burial. Careful, two of the photos on the link might not be for those of a nervous disposition.

    I think they clamped down on the One Tibet movement along with other gambling syndicates.

    Not for sqeemish ppl
    They lay the bodies out and the local vultures know whats comin so they gather around, a friend was at it and had pics and vids on his camera, they were burying an old woman and a fat guy. the guys in charge of the ceremony make a few cuts here and there to let the vultures in and after that both bodies were stripped clean in 10 mins, bones are then ground up and mixed with flour and the vultures eat the rest. He said the nosie of the guys smashing skull and bone was terrible. the guys who perform these ceremonies are outcast in the village because of what they even though the townspeople want them to do it.

    It's crazy but it makes perfect sense.

    You're probably right, there's too much dead weight.
