Well, just try it.  Go out and sacrifice a few dogs or cats and watch
the Humane Society step in.  Do it in front of the police headquarter
building to save a bit of time.  Oh wait.  We don't eat dogs and cats
(well in some places they do) go sacrifice a little lamb.  Make sure you
steal it from Mary. ;)

To me, animal sacrifice is immoral.  To the law it is too.  That is my
logical justification.
