Hialeah, FL found out all about this in the early 90s. If cities allow secular slaughtering for food and economic reasons, then they must allow religious slaughtering under similar oversight. Most religious slaughtering, whether for Judaism, Santeria or Islam is used for food alongside its religious purpose anyway.

I don't know about the Jewish ritual of kapparot, but in Islam the sacrificed animal is then butchered like normal to be used to distribute food to the needy (Qurban).

Sure, but their point is correct. My (admittedly non-expert) knowledge lies primarily in the practices of the Romans and pre-Roman Italic peoples, and the practice seems to have grown from the need to separate the parts of the animal that are safe to eat, from the parts that are not, which are offered to the gods. So, food distribution and waste disposal.

We slaughter mind-boggling amounts of animals every day for all sorts of purposes. A religious practice is as good as any other reason. This doesn't matter. They're free to practice their faith. Hopefully they cook/eat any sacrificed animals, but if they didn't I wouldn't care one bit.

Not really.  Almost no religion just left the dead animal there on the altar to rot.  It would be dispatched, dismembered, some bits possibly burned, and the rest went into a stewpot or onto a grill.  The working difference between a butcher and a priest was only what song they were singing while they did the deed.

That's not what wiki says about Judaism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnt_offering_(Judaism)

A burnt offering in Judaism (Hebrew: קָרְבַּן עוֹלָה, qorban ʿōlā) is a form of sacrifice first described in the Hebrew Bible. As a tribute to God, a burnt offering was entirely burnt on the altar. This is in contrast to other forms of sacrifice (entitled zevach or zevach shelamim), which was partly burnt and most of it eaten in communion at a sacrificial meal.[1]

During the First Temple and Second Temple periods, the burnt offering was a twice-daily animal sacrifice offered on the altar in the temple in Jerusalem that was completely consumed by fire. The skin of the animal, however, was not burnt but given to the priests respective of their priestly division. These skins are listed as one of the twenty-four priestly gifts in Tosefta Hallah.[2]

https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/burnt-offering

Three kinds of animals were offered as burnt offerings - bulls (vv. 1-5), sheep and goats (v. 10), or turtledoves and pigeons (v. 14). Only the rich could afford bulls, the "middle class" offered sheep or goats, as that was the most they could give, and the poor sacrificed turtledoves and pigeons. In all cases, the offering was a real sacrifice. Meat was a rare luxury back then, so it was costly to burn an entire animal on the altar without giving any part of it to anyone but the Lord. This is exactly what happened with the burnt offering (vv. 9b, 13b, 17b).

Creoena: If your God requires sacrificing animals (or humans, as can be the case), your God is nuts and you should consider a God who doesn't require killing things as part of its rituals.


It's not so much that God (or gods) required it, than the necessity of slaughtering animals, distributing the meat, and handling the waste, in societies that didn't have things like slaughterhouses and FDA regulations. Back then priests did real work. But they lacked things like germ theory and such, so the institutional knowledge of "don't eat that, it'll make you sick" becomes "don't eat that because it belongs to the gods", and at some point (I'm spit-balling here) somebody notices that leaving those offerings out to rot also makes people sick (the gods are displeased, obviously) so they begin the practice of burning the offerings. Perhaps they believed that doing so translated the offerings to the heavens, the realm of air, by transforming the offerings into smoke. In practice they were incinerating biohazardous material.

They had good reasons for doing what they did, but they didn't always understand why, so they attributed those things to the spirit world.

There are some religious practices involving animal sacrifice that are incredibly cruel and should be banned. For example, some forms of African diaspora religions have rituals of blessing involving breaking the legs of a still-living chicken, waving the distressed animal over the body of someone being "cleansed", then killing and burying the animal. I have not problems with banning practices such as this.

Killing a goat quickly and humanely then eating it? I think that's fine in a society that regularly slaughters bazillions of animals for food anyways.

We're going to kill an animal and watch it bleed to death to please our deity of choice. Why would you follow a deity that gets off on blood and gore. How is that a good thing? Oh yeah, kill that animal in my name. Mmmmm that's some good slaughterin' I tell you what. Slow it down though your deity doesn't have a cell phone camera and needs to get the lotion.

Actually this was to promote clean and safe animal processing practices. But this is the 21st century and since we've entire agencies devoted to the safe practice of processing animals for mass consumption it's just creepy as fark.
You have the right to practice your religion, your creepy death worshipping religion. I'll think of it as hunting, dressing and eating your kill. Even though you'll stand around in groups and worship over it as if it's some sort of conduit to get your deities attentions focused on you and the new car you want to buy.

Animal sacrifice was widespread in early Judaism but it had to be carried out by a priest at a temple.

Then the head priests got together and decided that it could only be done at the big temple in Jerusalem  (so it it would get all the economic side benefits).

When the Romans destroyed the Temple in 70CE there was no place to sacrifice and the practice stopped.

The kosher rules on which animals are fit to eat also apply to animals that are pleasing to God to sacrifice. The eating rules were probably derived from early sacrifice rules because the priests ate the good parts of the sacrifices. Those rules are very specific for choice mammals and birds but rather perfunctory for animals that  logically wouldn't be sacrificed such as fish and grasshoppers (I don't think a priest ever considered eating a grasshopper or even looked at one - the rule says they  have 4 legs)
