Loote, I'll add some more to your list. The old Inka, Mayans in the America had the same practise. In fact,every civilization once in their lifetime have done some form of animal sacrifice. We can go on and on.It happened a long time ago on their part of history. I'm not disagreeing with you completely that even these days, it's not rare to hear them happen quite often. But it's not the mainstream culture of these people, the Christian, Jews, Albianian(????) and whateve.It's dum, period, esp when it's done at the tire of a gaint plane (unlike the motorcycle you only ride) which is used by the foreighners(tourism being our main industry)to come inside(step on) to our country.Do you think they'll like that? It's wrong for these people to say Hinduism is bad, but you've to move with time as well. As you've put up examples, we can go and on. The national Spanish TV is not going to cover the Pappiliona(???) Bull Race(which is oneof the biggest part of their culture), in a shift to discourage the killing. They're listening to the rest of the world who think it's cruel. Some effort.
