I think the entire lead up is barbaric

But that would surely take the thread off topic?
Stay where you can afford I guess. If you're a 40 year old professional expat living in Asia but $100 a night for a 5* hotel is too expensive, then by all means stay in a $30 a night one instead.

Each to their own. Like choice of vaccines. Take the Chinese one now or wait and get the European one later

And I guess if you happen to be a multi-billionaire you can buy your own hotel and have the most lux suite plus the run of the rest, and buy your own island to build the hotel on, Or just buy a rocket and shoot yourself to the moon.

I am a 56 year old confessional human being, not a forty year old professional expat. I try to set my standards more by that standard (human). Which is not to say that I prefer to live in a slum. Most people do not prefer that, including the millions of people who do live in them.

As for vaccines millions of people in my country refuse to walk through a door to get one while a few billion who would eagerly take it cannot get it. This vexes me to the point that I feel absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for the refuseniks when they get the full virus with no defense, the suffering and death they cause for themselves and others.

Now back to the original topic, please.
 
What is it? The larger the animal sacrificed the wider to roam path to heaven? I forgot to mention that when they were killing the beast they decided to chop out a hole in the bottom of the wall between our area and theirs where they could drain all the blood and water away from where they were working which is less than a meter away from an actual drain. Since the new hole is only 15 meters away from my house, I get to be in rat patrol now. The hole will be plugged but from my side.

Actually the larger the animal, the more people that are "covered" by the sacrifice. A goat is only good for 1 person. A cow is good for 7 people. Also, the meat from the sacrifice is consumed by the family. The sacrifice serves 2 purposes.

It is related to the number of people meant to benefit from the individual animal sacrificed. A goat is considered "transportation" for one person, while a cow or water buffalo can be used by three or four people. Before I lost weight again, my wife liked to joke that I would make a good sacrifice (lots of meat to be shared around).
