Is it religion or ?

Even I do not agree on this part of the religion be it any for that matter. Have humans grown so mean and selfish that they will kill animals to make their life better?! I have never read anywhere that god asks for all these type of non sense, and that's basically because, for god, all lives are the same, be it an human or an animal. I am also totally against such practices and rituals. I am glad that you made an effort to stop what was happening and the best thing, you were successful. Great work done. CheerS!

Hiya shibs, Did they actually sacrifice him in the end? Or was it just a Ritual kind of thing? I hope that he was not killed just for that such a dear little Animal. I think that before when we were driven by primal fear of "the Gods" or whatever that something terrible would happen if we did not sacrifice something then it was more or less a thing that most People did. But now I cannot understand that we have come to this Day and Age and that People will still do these things. Well I say I can´t understand it but if you love God then you will not want to kill anything not on purpose at least. I am not going back to the Photo again as I don´t want to break my Heart looking at it. It is understood for me why they did all this before but at the same time I don´t condone it either. At the same time I cannot say that I have never been in a situation like that as our past Memories are buried deep and for our own protection there is a sort of Gatekeeper there that will not let us remember what happened before. Let me put it this way in another time I may have hunted Animals to be able to live to eat but now I would not do this unless really pushed I suppose. I sound hypocritical here although I am against it there are People still hunting to be able to live and I do not pretend to know the Law that goes beyond this Earth I know that it is there but I don´t pretend to know about how it works either. You did right in going from there I would not have been able to eat that Day after that is how it affects me. Not wanting to judge anyone here as their Beliefs are theirs and I respect them but me personally I would not and could not do this I would leave Baby where he is to grow up to where he will grow and thats it.xxx

Very good shibham, you have done the right thing. Animal sacrifice was prevalent in hindu form of worship thousands of years ago even at the time of Ram and Krishna.However in the modern times people have realized that it is not necessary to do so and it has been replaced symbolically.However there are a few places where it is still carried out but not frequently.with many species of animals fast nearing extinction it is necessary to preserve as many as we can.by doing so you have saved some animals from being killed and i commend you for it.

Actually non -God religion, cult or satanic worship will demand blood be shed on living being either animal, or human as type of offering. The ritual has nothing to do with God teaching, except it is commonly use to mislead the public. But then again, the performer can pretty much said whatever he want to justify a twisted belief for such cruel action.

shiby, As part of ritual whether religious or not- this is happening. What do you think about canned corned beef? Don't they kill the animal before stuffing the meat inside those tin?

Shibham, Its great that u saved several animal's lives.Its harsh killing animals in the name of god and religion.I am forever against such awful traditions.I have protested some times,but was never successful.They consider me immature in dealing such issues.The people are blinded folded in the name of religion.They is no one to punish them or blame them for doing such stupid,idiotic and shameless acts.I think such events should also be dealt legally,and the sinners be punished severely so that they won't dare to do them again in future fearing their lives.

Animal sacrifice is a feature of many religions today including Islam. Even when animal sacrifice is not practised today it features in all almost all religions histories. What is the difference between Eid ul-Adha in Islam and the practices of Manasha Puja?

Hi shibham, I agree with you completely, it is never necessary to shed innocent blood of any kind. I could never believe in a God who would make such a demand. All such beliefs are man made and completely out of character with the idea a supreme being. Blessings.

It's as pointless to me as killing an animal for a fur coat or for a trophy...

I believe such rituals and customs have been deeply rooted in every culture..or religion that sometimes people who follow it, people who believe in it just follows it even though it might be wrong. Some also are innocent of the fact that there are so many things wrong about such sacrifices. Good for you and you stood up for that buffalo.. There are also ways in my own religion / culture that i also do not follow but we cannot help but there are really people who still do it even though it is outright wrong.

I am the one who doesn't like to see animals treated that way. I also feel that animals have their own right to live.

The practice of slaughtering animals for religious or spiritual purposes is primitive and uncivilized and the same goes for hunting, which is even worse because it is done purely for fun and entertainment. It should be said that if you are against animal slaughtering for religious reasons then you should also be against the idea of eating meat.

For me is i am not agree with,It's another false belief that is not base on what God says.. some false religion practice that to sacrifice and pay for their sins,but that is wrong..! God ,Jesus Christ already paid the sins and savior of us,He is making the only way through Him so we can be right with and throught our faith and not through offering animals or any sacrifices!

Because crowd is stupid. They want to prove something more, even if its not needed. And most of the time they prove themselves its always about killing something and sacrificing things.

there's so much mischief, massacres, slaughter and other bloody things done all in the name of religion that one might wonder if religion is a good thing at all. The Bible (I'm a Christian on paper), especially the Old Testament, is full of blood if you read it ... well, I've become an atheist after all. Anyway, we don't need religion or a God to know what's good and bad. To believe in afterlife or spirits does not require religion. I'm sure we would get by pretty well with other people if there was no religions in the world. They've brought more bad than good to mankind imo. I think what you've done was good. It would even be better if those people would understand for themselves that doing such things is not good and weakens (sometimes damages very hard) our spiritual development. They are responsible for what they are doing. If they choose to kill an animal and you can't keep them from doing it it's their mistake and not yours

What do they do with it after they kill the animal?
