Curse of Animal Sacrifice in all faiths


Only humans are cruel to their prey, no aminal is. This post is a cry against sacrifice of animals in the name of religion, or faith, be it Hindus sacrificing goats and chicken for Devi, or Muslims slaughtering an animal on the occasion of Eid, or Christians killing millions of turkey on Thanksgiving day. One could take a leaf from the Hindu practice to break a coconut, or offer coconuts in a sacrificial altar. An emancipated view, re-interpretation and adaptation of an ancient belief, practiced in the context of the-then circumstance, geography and era, is possible.
