Bali Pratha || Animal Sacrifice - [Hindi with English CC]

The question is that bali pratha (animal offering) is done in the name of god. It is such a cruel act so does God want such a thing? Do the god or goddess like this offering? Shankracharya was a great scholar. He went to different places like Kashmir, Assam etc. and many places and tried to stop the bali pratha. He gave many explanations, the viewpoint of the shastras on bali pratha but a human being is a very greedy person. He thinks that it is okay to sacrifice anyone as long as he is safe. If someone advises him that to free himself from any bad situation, he needs to offer an animal to some god, he agrees to it. This is a sign of complete ignorance. Would god like that an animal that is his creation be slaughtered in front of him? And, would god like to eat that raw meat? Would he like to eat an animal whose blood is all over and is suffering? Would that god or goddess eat that animal? I don’t think so.
The one who eats beautiful food, the one whom we offer milk, ghee, butter, sweets, various types of foods, would that god eat raw meat? Even you can’t eat it. The one who is infinite, would he eat meat? These are all things of ignorance and silliness. But, you should understand how bali pratha started.
