For what reason, traditionally, have rituals concerning animals been performed in many societies? To appease their spirits.

Animals are calm and contented. They never weep over their miserable conditions as humans do. They never worship God and weep for their sins. Human beings are confused, greedy and overambitious while animals are not.

Philippians 3:2: “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.” Proverbs 26:11: “As a dog returneth to his vomit, [so] a fool returneth to his folly.” Luke 16:21: “And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.”

Proverbs 12:10 which says that a “righteous man cares about his animal’s health”. Matthew 10:29 in which Jesus identifies sparrows as animals which are not valued by humans, but which God still knows and remembers.

In Genesis 9:3-4 God tells us that a person cannot cut off the limb of a living animal. In the book of Proverbs it is written, “A righteous person knows the needs of his beast, but the compassion of the wicked is cruelty,” (Proverbs 12:10).

“St. Thomas Aquinas wrote about animals having a soul, but it wasn’t similar to that of humans, and St. Francis of Assisi saw animals as God’s creatures to be honored and respected,” said Schmeidler, a Capuchin Franciscan.

Atonement in the Old Testament was a temporary faith exercise of sacrifice done by those who believed in God and showed it by offering those sacrifices. Jesus did far more than just temporarily cover sin: He destroyed it, rising from the dead, conquering the power of sin and death for all who believe.

Sacrifice is the offering of material possessions or the lives of animals or humans to a deity as an act of propitiation or worship.

Jesus poured out His life — “He poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with transgressors. For he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12). This means that he literally gave up his life and emptied himself so that we could become full.

Sacrifice is a celebration of life, a recognition of its divine and imperishable nature. In the sacrifice the consecrated life of an offering is liberated as a sacred potency that establishes a bond between the sacrificer and the sacred power.

The main purpose of blood sacrifice could range from offering a gift, having communion, making propitiation, cleansing, averting evils or failures to providing nourishment for Yahweh, on the one hand, and as it affects man.

Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of the body so they can keep working. Blood carries carbon dioxide and other waste materials to the lungs, kidneys, and digestive system to be removed from the body. Blood also fights infections, and carries hormones around the body.

Blood globally represents life itself, as the element of divine life that functions within the human body. Closely tied with passion, but also with death, war, sacrifice (specifically sheep, hog, bull and man) and the warding off of malicious powers — ‘blood has flowed, the danger is past’ (Arabic saying).
