Animal Sacrifice – Ritual Slaughter in Africa

- by Duane Loper

When the South African politician and anti-Apartheid activist Tony Yengeni’s family engaged in ritual slaughtering for a traditional cleansing ceremony it sparked a lot of controversy concerning animal rights and cultural practices.

The practice of ritual slaughter originates surprisingly from Greece. Certain gods were offered sacrifices in the form of animal sacrifices for the purpose of appeasing those gods seeking counsel and blessings. The practice made its way to Rome and was further evidenced in the Bible by the children of Israel.

The differences between Homo sapiens and other animals are legion, but evolution teaches us that we are at a fundamental level bound by profound similarities.
