When I was thinking of animal sacrifices, the only kind of killing that is part of modern day life, to me, would be related to crime like a murder. Murders are splashed across headlines daily and to a certain extent our hearts are a little hardened to it -- it's typical news. When I am flipping through the channels and while the news channels don't bother me, shows like Animal Precint on Animal Planet do. But to think of a sacrifice, that's hands on whether it be an animal or a person. No matter how much news dulls me, the taking of a life (any life, except bugs!) would be next to impossible. With animals, our modern day relationships with them are as pets not an obvious choice of food. The thought of killing a pet that we are emotionally attached to is partly what causes us to feel repulsed. That's us city folk. Now in the country, thing's are different. Animal = food. You become detached because you slaughter to eat and you understand that. Meanwhile, at the grocery store those of us who aren't don't tend to think of Bessie, the cow, when buying the fixings for a barbeque. Stacy
