Can you explain what is going on?

at 11:18 AM

Not so long ago, I came across a very disturbing scenario, which for a few minutes shocked me.

What I saw was adults holding children, waiting their turn. The children are handed (one at a time), to a man to hold them whilst his female compatriot shoots them. Normally when children are taken away from their parents, they usually start to cry. This man was so caring that he would try to stop the child crying before his colleague shoots the child.

Can you explain what is going on???
