@ironshield: This post should have gotten many responses, maybe too many were squeamish to click on the video. I watched the whole thing, and while it is graphic and a little sickening to watch, it is also fascinating. I've never seen an animal beheaded like that. It's a reminder of the brutality throughout history that PEOPLE have done towards other PEOPLE. The faith that I follow does involve animal sacrifices, but no sacrifices are instituted currently. I believe someday the sacrificial system will be reinstated. That makes some feel very uncomfortable, but it's the reality of it. When sacrifices are reinstated, it wouldn't look like what we see in this video: a man in plain cloths swinging a sharp sword in a dirty pit, yanking the head off with a rope. No, it wouldn't look like this. But the main elements would be there: death of an animal, blood, removing the body. The sacrifices of my faith would be more like what is done in a slaughterhouse. The animal's body would then be "cleaned" and certain parts offered in fire as a burnt offering. Sort of like a BBQ. Thank you for filming this and asking the question. I'm happy to give my thoughts. @steemflow
