@Cowboys,

first thing first - i did not vouch for killing to please Gadimai or any god for that matter. So before you blame me for killing animals in my house, let's know each other.

And did you really think half million people (number is still debatable, but i will take your word) out there were killing to suffice their needs? You said it, it was sacrifice - which can never be justified unless you truely believe "your wildest dream will come true" via so called gods.

This is not about you and me. The bigger picture is to abolish this nonsesical idealogy of pleasing god thru some sort of sacrifice. Religion is one of the dividing factors among all the people . Hypothetically, say a some other religion starts sacrificing cows to please their god; does that mean hindus should go out and sacrifice those culcripts for thier sins and please THEIR gods.

On a different note though, vegetarians are definately missing out.
