	The concept of animal sacrifice in the Vedic tradition is one of the most misunderstood subjects, often used by the uninformed to justify slaughterhouses and meat-eating. ~~Srila Prabhupada~~ explains that in previous ages, animal sacrifice was never meant for the satisfaction of the tongue. It was a rigorous scientific experiment to test the potency of Vedic mantras chanted by expert ~~brahmanas~~. An old animal would be placed in the sacrificial fire and emerge with a rejuvenated, youthful body, or be immediately promoted to the human form of life. This analysis explores how the scriptural concessions for sacrificing animals to Goddess ~~Kali~~ were designed solely to restrict the violent tendencies of meat-eaters, not to encourage them. Due to the degradation of society and the absence of qualified priests, the Supreme Lord incarnated as Buddha to stop these sacrifices altogether. Consequently, in the current age of Kali-yuga, all animal sacrifices are strictly forbidden, replaced by the purest and simplest sacrifice: the ~~sankirtana~~-~~yajna~~, or the congregational chanting of the holy names.
