Thanks so much for your comments, and you make a great point about religious sacrifice being more removed from most peoples' reality. What sparked this particular story was a news item about the consequences of animal sacrifice in a nearby community close to where I live. And possibly I should have shared exactly what the German Shepherd said, although sometimes I like to leave things open. But I appreciate you bringing that up, and thanks for reading.

This was thought provoking and just the right length to make the point but not belabor it. I am intrigued you didn’t tie it to scientific experiments on animals—religious sacrifice seems pretty removed from many peoples reality but scientific experiments and factory meat farming might really drive the horror home? I am curious what the German Shepherd actually said when he spoke in English?
