I am totally against this menace of "sacrifice". Never can a God demand life of some poor terrified animal.

I agree completely wtih Greywind. This is barbaric either way. If people are so hyped up about sacrifice, go sacrifce yourselves.

South Asian feminist thinker and writer Sarojini Sahoo proves T is alien from LGB.
