Before they sacrificed animals they sacrificed people. The move to animals was progress at the time.

true yep. I think they also ate the people they sacraficed. The eucharist, where you eat what is symbolically the body of christ, is a vestige of that, and was started to say you could do this instead of eating people now, and drink wine instead of drinking blood. Orthodox jews probably don't like all these changes.
