Okay. The first thing is it is not mandated by our scriptures, but the taste buds could be crazy and to assuage it, humans take the excuse of God and try to justify the killing even when God has explicitly forbidden the killing of any animals even for your own consumption, let alone sacrifice at a so-called sacred place, when these things get repeated for years, over a period of time, it becomes a part of the culture.
This cruelty must stop, in fact, any form of cruelty to animals must stop.
I have personally done a bit of research on what exactly our scriptures tell about consuming meat and even for that matter sacrifices.
