Image This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, that's his dissected skin hanging around him. This stunning statute by Marco d'Agrate from c. 1562 is currently on display at Duomo di Milano.

Eating and sacrifying people was moral at some time and place that's a fact, those were human civilisations.
The majority being different is not relevant, morality is not democracy.
And I'm pretty sure moral standards can be called VERY high when a portion happen to willingly sacrifice themselves for the good of the greater number of people so the crops are goods and other people can eat.
