成人式？ coming-of-age celemony?

成人の儀
四つ指族に決まった成人式のような祭日はないようです。
しかし、高級官僚や政治家、富裕層いわゆる支配階級にある家庭では、民を導く者は時に民の犠牲を強いる決断を迫られることもあるので、それに慣れておく必要があるという建前で、子供が適当な年頃になると五つ指族を買い与えて殺させます。
殺し方に決まりはないようです。
今回の新成人は火あぶりが好みのようですね。
五つ指族は絶滅危惧種なので、現在では狩猟や飼育や取引が禁止さているのですが、彼らには関係ないようです。

Coming-of-age ceremony
Four-fingers haven't got the coming-of-age day.
But elite bureaucracy, politicians or the well-to-do, so-called ruling classes have similar event.
The rulers sometimes have to make decision that takes a toll on people.
So rulers must get used to it.
For that supposed principles, when their children grow up, they buy five-fingers for their children and make them kill the victims.
It seems there's no matter how to kill.
This time the new grown-up likes to burn her at the stake.
As five-fingers is classified as a threatened species, hunting, rearing or trading them is banned now.
But may be no care for these haves.
