Cabinet approves proposal to ban animal sacrifices in Kovils
Cabinet has approved a proposal put forward by Hindu Religious Affairs Minister D.M.Swaminadan to outlaw the ancient practice of animal and bird sacrifices in Kovil areas that is still observed at several temples across the country.
The legislation could see animal sacrifices at Hindu temples being banned after the practice offended animal rights activists, as well as many other Sri Lankans.
Although there is currently no clear law prohibiting animal sacrifices at places of worship, Sri Lankan courts from time to time have issued temporary bans on such practices.
