I realize the title is clickbait. Still, my immediate reaction is, “Yes, because that worked out so well for Haiti.”

It works for the Gurkhas, who fought in both World Wars. They still “sacrifice” goats for Dashain.

Yes, I’m not disparaging the practice (though I personally think those who do it are deceived). I’m simply making the point that it’s not a real factor in societal change (which is along the lines of the point the article was trying to make).

Is there not also temple in Guwahati, Assam that specializes in goat sacrifice or one in Kathmandu Pashupatinath?
