Isaiah 66:3 Douay-Rheims

He that sacrificeth an ox, is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine’s blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways, and their soul is delighted in their abominations.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

To kill a sheep with a view of offering it in sacrifice, is as offensive to God as if one should cut off the head of a dog ; which animal was rejected as unclean.
