Slaughtering in the name of god, pujaris here are killing/sacrificing goats,baffoloes, pigeons, ducks etc. During my recent visit to Kamakhya Temple during my holidays in Guwahati, I didnt feel the essence of religion or god when I saw enormous number of goats waiting outside the temple to be killed.

This incident made me shiver and provoked me to start this petition in order to stop the cruelty against animals.

A leaf out of history (In reference to TOI)

The tradition of animal sacrifice dates back to proto-historic Harappa from where seals depicting the practice have been found. In Hinduism, there are both vedic and non-vedic (mainly tribal) traditions of the practice.
Vaishnav protagonists eschewing sacrifice worship Ram and Krishna both of whom were known hunters.
Shaivite cults generally shun sacrifice. Bhairav, a god from this pantheon, is an exception with followers offering both animals and liquor.
Reform movements since the Bhakti movement of the 15th and 16th centuries have brought about symbolic sacrifices in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and other parts of the country including Bihar. Rice and til have become substitutes for lambs, bulls and goats while other symbolic sacrifices include coconuts, betelnuts and pumpkins.What the law says
Since the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, does not prohibit animal sacrifice at religious places, states like Karnataka, Gujarat, Orissa, Himachal and Andhra Pradesh, have brought another act into effect — Animals and Birds Sacrifice Prohibition Act — to ban the practice.
