328 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 9
Only thieves and rogues in the modes of passion and ignorance and mad-
dened by material opulence offer a man in sacrifice before the goddess
Kali. This is not sanctioned by the Vedic instructions. Presently there are
many hundreds and thousands of slaughterhouses throughout the world
that are maintained by a puffed-up population mad for material opu-
lence. Such activities are never supported by the Bhdgavata school.
