Jai Sriman Narayana! Srimath BhAgavatham, the most respected SATVIK Purana condemns animal sacrifices in Yagnas regardless of the yuga. Several Manvanthras ago, Sri Narda maharshi condemned PrAchina Bahrshi and Priyavratha for pereforming animal sacrifices. Sri Narada muni pointed out that the sacrificed animals although immediately elevated to slightly higher (Manava) janma, the animals are waiting for the death of the yajamana (the performer), and the yajamana would get the bad karma for the sacrifices. Narada advised him to giveup animal sacrifices and join the path of devotion to Lord Sriman Narayana. The purAnas are like study guides to vedAs, and the sathvik purAnas are all against animal sacrifices. They all proclaim that Ahimsa is supreme dharma. With all glories to Lord Sri Venkateswara, I remain, Sincerely, Narender Reddy
