India bans animal sacrifice

[Catherine]

Truthfully, I did not know that they were doing animal sacrifices in India or anywhere else. I can't imagine any religion still practicing animal sacrifice. Surely we have outgrown this as a species.

I was hoping that a change like this might cause countries to rethink bull fighting and other "traditions" that harm animals.

Bit by bit we are changing, but it is slow. When I was a kid, everyone smoked, everywhere. Smoking is now forbidden almost everywhere. I feel almost shocked/ surprised when I see someone on the street smoking. In my life time I have seen a change in attitudes to smoking.

Once the attitudes towards animal cruelty start changing we may see as big a shift. I hope it comes in my life time.
