ANIMAL SACRIFICE AND RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH

Abstract

In September 2018, the majority Buddhist government of Sri Lanka approved draft
legislation banning animal sacrifice at Hindu Temples.The Cabinet alluded to these penances as a "crude" practice that can make physical and mental damage to society. Additionally, the Federal High Court of Brazil is by and by assessing the legality of a proposed charge forbidding creature penance in the territory of Rio Grande does Sul. Advocates of this bill contend that basic entitlements override the strict opportunity of the followers of Afro-Brazilian religions who play out these penances. They further battle that the act of creature penance represents a danger to general wellbeing. Through the assessment of these cases, this article will think about the connection between creature penances what more, strict opportunity in the Global South is. Utilizing Brazil and Sri Lanka as specific illustrations, it will investigate how laws and prosecution ensuring creature government assistance can frequently be a pretense for racial separation and strict prejudice.
