We do not progress by regressing to the level of others. Do not measure your actions by those of others. We, as Hindus, should see a problem with such a display of violence and carnage. We need to be the example against the more violent faiths. Our compassion is what makes us different. Maintain it always.
By the way, there is a christian sect called The Seventh-day Adventist Church. They have 16 million followers and they follow total vegetarianism based on the grounds of compassion.
May the Supreme Spirit illumine us!

now that is something to cultivate, compassion Karuna, one off the pillar of Vedic Dharma, i would not trust my mind or mind level, it has a habit of justifying even murders, so it is not surprising for those who want to eat meat, therefore i put my trust in Dharma, it implores me to be compassionate.

Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.

Strange indeed, thankfully it is not the opinion off Ramayan here it is and i quote
phalamulashanaa nitya.m bhaviShyaami na sa.mshayaH |
na tu duHkha.m kaiShyaami nivasantii tvayaa sadaa || raa 2.27.16 ||
I shall without doubt live on fruits and roots from day to day and
shall not cause any annoyance to you while living with you (raamaayaNa,
ayodhya-kaaNDa, 27.16). (spoken by Siitaa to Raama)
patra.m muula.m phala.m yattu alpa.m vaa yadi vaa bahu
daasyase svayamaahutya tanme.mR^itarasopamam || raa 2.30.15 ||
Anything you will give (me) in the shape of leaves, roots or fruits,
bringing it yourself in a small or large quantity will taste like nectar to
me (raamaayaNa, ayodhya-kaaNDa, 30.15). (spoken by Siitaa to Raama)
na maaturna pitustatra smariShyaami na veshmanaH |
aartavaanyupabhu~njaanaa puShpaaNi cha phalaani cha || raa 2.30.16 ||
Enjoying there seasonal flowers and fruits too I shall neither remember my
mother nor father nor home (raamaayaNa, ayodhya-kaaNDa 30.16).

Salutation be to you O Narayani, O you who are the good of all good, O auspicious Devi, who accomplish every object, the giver of refuge, O three eyed Gauri!

The thread is not at all about progress or regress. The poster of OP was AGHAST!! But never was he aghast at Id sacrifices. Was he?
Does a tiger regress or progress?
I do not take meat, but I don't preach to those who do.
I do not approve of BALI in temples, but I do not demolish them. In east and NE you will find many, many temples of goddess where there is a BALI. I NEVER went inside any of such temples, but the Mother is still revered by me. So I paid my respects from a distance.
Sir I hail from Punjab, where goddess or Shiva temples do not have BALI.
I mentioned this "animal sacrifice" because I had never heard of it before. Especially at such a scale and that too by Hindus. I am not preaching that it is "wrong". I was just surprised.
And, I know mlecchas (christians/muslims/jews etc.) do all sorts of unsavory things but I am not going to waste my time combating them in this regard. They are not going to change. When Hindus do it, I thought it was something rare and that is why I posted about it.
I also know certain sects of Hindus still do animal sacrifice so I wanted to discuss what the philosophy behind it was. Why some Hindus are very particular about not eating meat, sacrificing animals and others are not that way.
