1/11/2006: Cattle sacrifice

I find the ritualistic aspect weird, myself. But the overriding question is this: If there's nothing wrong with killing the cow and eating the meat, why should there be anything wrong with, say, hopping 3 times in a circle, yelling abracadabra, then killing the cow and eating the meat? It's kind of the same thing with hunting -- people graciously allow us to kill our dinner, but only if we don't enjoy it too much. Cuz that would be "sport", and as Bambi taught us, killing for sport is wrong.

I say let every person render their protein in the manner they see fit -- without guilt or the need to hide where civilized people won't see us and get a tummyache.
