Welcome to Gaia! ::

I sacrifices animals to feed my hunger, i have no problem with people doing it for there religion.

Thankfully, I have only seen a handful of reports of it, and attributed only to that specific type of group. The practice has a reasonable purpose in their rituals, to their way of thinking, but it isn't something that would get advertised, even among the larger pagan community. Mostly, Reconstructionist Pagans are much more about historical accuracy and research (lots of study, talk and debate); I would venture that it is only a far-fringe element that acts this sort of thing out.
I've met a fair number of pagans who are militantly vegan, also, LOL. You never know about pagans until they start to explain their particular faith.

I think that some groups who do animal sacrifice might be allowed to eat all or part of the meat, or allowed to put it outside for animals to consume... but I could be mis-remembering.

There has been considerable friction between Santerians and groups promoting the care and treatment of animals. The source of the conflict is the animal sacrifices which form an integral part of some Santerian rituals. Chickens and other small animals are ritually sacrificed, often at times of serious sickness or misfortune, and at times of initiation of new members. Santerians defend their practices by pointing out:
bullet The animals are killed in a humane manner.
bullet They are generally eaten later, just as the many of millions of animals slaughtered daily in North American commercial establishments.
bullet Ritual sacrifice of animals was extensively practiced in ancient Israel and was only discontinued after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in the eighth decade CE.
bullet They feel that the sacrifices must continue because their Orisha require the food. (The Orisha are various manifestations of God).
bullet Animal sacrifices have formed a part of their religion for over one millennium.
bullet The constitutions of the United States and Canada guarantee freedom of religious expression.

As a Muslim, we make a sacrifice once a year on Eid Al Adha, it has a lot to do with the Prophet Abraham who was told to sacrifice his son to God, (though in Islam we believe it was Ishmael and not Issac) and then God told them to go and put a lamb in the sons place, and so every year, muslims sacrifice a lamb, goat, or cow, and a portion of the meat goes to the needy, another portion goes to family or friends I think, and then we use the rest.

That's interesting. I've heard that Islam and Judaism are somewhat similar, but this is the first thing that's kinda close between the two I've ever seen. I've never really studied religion though so there's probably a lot more I haven't seen. I know the two of them and Christianity all branch from the same area though. smile
