  • Thank You so much this is amazing. What an insite to the wonderful Masai Tribes

  • Whatever about anything else, I am so glad that I wasn't born into this culture, it's a culture where people have no freedom to decide for themselves, they are ruled by ancient customs and traditions which in my opinion have no place in the 21st century.

  • @HateFilledLies It's becoming increasingly less common. I think less than half of babies now get circumcized in the US.

  • Isn't circumcision common in America? I always thought it was common place in the good ol' U.S. of A or am I misinformed.

  • We want to kill these people way of life to protect lions? doesnt sound fair to me. Dont get me wrong, i love animals and i would never kill a lion, but thats easy since killing lions is not a key part of my culture. I dont like the fact we cant or we dont want hard enough stopping people who brings way bigger devastation just for money and then we want to force this people to make his tradition "legends from past times". Are we out of our minds?

  • These people are ancient egyptian descendant. Continue on their ancient tradition since the beginning of time.

  • Genital mutilation is wrong, regardless of the ritual reason for it. Unlike babies, these young men know what is coming. What happens to those who choose not to be mutilated? Are they forced? Are they banished?

  • @YOUGOTTHELOOK

    Endangered lion killing, genital mutilating bunch of folk.

    Beautiful can sometimes be... odd.

  • Male circumcision is very common only among the most narrow-minded and idiot people in the whole Earth.

  • kase naman kase .. kung guxto mo makakita ng tarugo .. sa porn sited ka mag hanap .... tssss... XD
