11. It's important to remember that Judeo-Christian tradition
is based on animal sacrifice. Indeed, the Christ story is that of a human sacrifice.

It's easy for us to criticize, and we no longer make religious sacrifices here, with the notable exception of the Santeria religion. However, we do kill and slaughter millions of animals for the table.

It should be noted that the animals sacrificed in this ritual in Nepal will also be processed and used for food and leather.

It's interesting to examine what the differences might be between what is happening in Nepal and what happens daily here....really. Think about it.
