    Good point. Voodou animal sacrifice is far far more humane than what it took to make your steak! #believerhttps://twitter.com/RoselynOmaka/status/843659016601583617 …

    I, personally, will never understand people who criticize animal sacrifice and yet eat meat. Enjoy your steak. #CNN #Believer

        Not the point AFAIC. I just have a hard time seeing anything sacred or holy about taking an innocent life. It's troubling.

        the direct definition of humane having or showing compassion. One who kills innocence is not acting humanely. #veganlife

        "humane" is/was not an appropriate word to use for a sacrifice of an animal.

        1 - that is the lowest of standards, C'mon. It is possible to honor the sanctity of Voodoo and call out this outdated practice.

        2 - this also important in India, where animal sacrifice still happens. Getting vitality from killing an animal is not spiritual.

        3 - Tragic to see such "openness and tolerance" for human worship, and no mercy for innocent animals. Please consider that too.

        Talking to you, not Reza. Voodoo pales in comparison to chickens being beaten with crowbars.

        Most often than not, They use it to feed the participants of the ceremony afterwards.

        4 - Besides that, I appreciate the series and what you are doing. The first tenet of spirituality should be "ahimsa" non-violence
