It’s an alternative approach to handling remains of the dead. It’s just how that culture does it. Flesh is cut in some particular way but helps the scavenger birds more thoroughly clean the remains. They call it “sky burial.”
Oh well honestly that doesn’t bother me too much, birds gotta eat too. Probably reeks though. That other guy made it sound like this was a method of execution or sacrifice or something.
Edit: I for one would rather be eaten by birds than mummified, as far as post-death fates go.

Exactly why I asked. If they’re dead already, then I’ve got no problem with it. Sounds akin to sky burial in many ways
