Hypocrisy, superstition, or stupidity?
What is the fault of the goats?
I agree others kill goat as food, it is a personal choice.
I hate this kind of animal sacrifice in the name of Hinduism.
Hypocrisy, superstition or stupidity?
None of these perhaps. It is just normal survival.
You are killing a few hundred paddy seeds every day to have your morning rice on your dining table. add to it the number of potential bhindi, pyaaj, chilli, carrot and other plants that are killed by cooking to be on your table as chukka bhaji and salaad. So no one has any right to point an accusing finger at others as long as we live in this world and eat for survival.
As long as the goats are not tortured before killling there is no reason to grumble. It is the food of tamasic and rajasic sections of the society. They relish it. That is the way the world exists.
There is a major religion of the world which got rid of all guilt in killing for eating by declaring and amending the holy book by saying that god created earth and populated it with the first human couple. He then created many other lives just for the pleasure of this couple and their decendents.
Another religion follows the practice of chanting a few slokhas from their holy book before slaughtering. The meat after such ritual slaughtering is halal or pure for them.
These are the two religions that are together forming the majority of the world population.
Let us be realistic. There is no complaint that the animals after offering to the God were just abandoned. The whole lot of it was eaten by people. And that is the saving grace. LOL.
