Buddha saves Animals from sacrifice | Must watch !

In this video, Buddha saves animals from being sacrificed by the Priests of those days.
The Buddha was against
animal sacrifice.
He had to be, for he was
staunchly opposed
to killing. Killing, not just
human beings,
but all beings without
exception.
He expressed the view that it
was all beings
that deserved our compassion.
During the time of the Buddha,
many kinds of
sacrifices were practised by
Brahmins who were
the priests of the
Vedic religion
professed
by the upper castes of
contemporary Indian society.
The Buddha did not see
any value in these
sacrifices, primarily
because they were entirely
external rites. If one
could speak of a
'right sacrifice', it had
to be something
that was internal or spiritual.
"I lay no wood, Brahmin,
for fire on altars
Only within burneth
the fire I kindle"
- says the Buddha, mindful
of the Brahmins
practice of tending a regular
'sacred fire'
and pouring oblations
into it for the various
gods of the
Vedic pantheon.
This however was only a
relatively harmless,
albeit in the eyes of the
Buddha useless,
activity. The Vedic priests
also advocated
and performed several
types of cruel animal
sacrifices.
The Buddha rejected
all these sacrifices in
no uncertain terms.
For example,
when he was
told of a 'great sacrifice'
that the king of
Kosala was about to
perform, where 2500
cattle, goats and rams were
to be immolated,
he declared:
"Never to such a
rite as that repair
The noble seers who walk
the perfect way."
And, in one of the
Jataka stories (Bhuridatta),
the future Buddha is
reported to have said:
"If he who kills is
counted innocent,
Let Brahmins Brahmins kill.
We see no cattle
asking to be slain
That they a new and
better life may gain;
Rather they go unwilling
to their death
And in vain struggles yield
their final breath.
To veil the post, the
victim and the blow,
The Brahmins let their
choicest rhetoric flow".
