In Nigeria and Ghana, West Africa, Muslim men slaughtered goats as offerings to their God. In this photograph taken in the town of Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana, in June 1955, children pet such a goat shortly before it was going to be slaughtered.
To this day, religious fanatics all over the world continue to slaughter helpless animals in God's name, in spite of the fact that the Bible says God does not want blood sacrifices.
They don't do it for God. They do it to satisfy their own delight in killing. It makes them feel powerful, potent, and they feel no guilt because they blame it on "God's will".

Says the LORD. "I am stuffed with burnt sacrifices of rams and the fat from steers. The blood of bulls, lambs, and goats I do not want. " - Isaiah 1:11
For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. - Hebrews 10:4
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please me. ..I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest ... Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
