In the lottery why do the people in town not stop the lottery?

Answer 1

Tragically things like this still exist in less-civilized parts of the Globe. Women have been stoned to death for prostitution in Arab countries. Closer to home there are horrfendous accounts of Animal sacrifices which have nothing to do with food production but are performed on the platform of a stage- a sort of blend of (religious Exercise) and stage craft. Just this past 24 hours, it was announced the sawn-off Paws of a dog were found in a bag made perhaps of animal skin in Central Park! I have personally seen sick animal sacrifices- remains tossed out on the street - A decapitated Chicken or turkey the legs still stiff in rigor mortis- on the sidewalk of Kennedy Boulevard in urban Jersey City. A country in Europe has all sorts of bloodsports such as bullfights, which are probably televised- this is a ritualized animal slaughter and not a ball game. Even some Christmas customs- watered down, mercifully, have animal-abuse overtones such as the Pinata. enough is enough the inhumanity of man to man- and animals is a tragic reality.

Answer 2

some villages have stopped having lotteries because they figured out that stoning people to death was a little middle ages and decided to move into the future.

Answer 3

They don't stop because they think some one needs to die for the sins of the village so they all aren't punished. if one person dies then everyone else does not get bad luck.
