It is difficult to conceive of Hinduism allowing the Sacrifice of Animals, whatever be the reason.
There are views that the Vedas do not sanction the killing of animals.
One may note the sacrifice of animals in the Puranas,Ithihasas,Ramaana and Mahabharata.
Sacrifice of animals is stressed in the Karma Kanda of the Vedas for obtaining Purusharthas.
In his Brahmasutra, Vyasa has expounded the nature of the Atman as found expressed in the Upanishads which constitute the jnanakanda of the Vedas. The actual conduct of sacrifices is dealt with in the Purvamimamsa which is the karmakanda of the Vedas. ![]()
