"meat"..right. So why the hypocrisy of calling it something else? If for meat, then those animals should be taken clean slaughterhouse and prepared that way. The stats about the american animals is not really apple to apple comparison because these animals are not being slaughtered in or around church.

It is very twisted to make it look like God really needs to see this in the temple periphery. Not the Hinduism itself, but the power players of Hinduism have made the religion very convoluted. And we, as a 'educated' crowd, don't have to stretch too much to justify those wrongs.
