I think that what bothers me a bit about the discussion on the list is not that folks don't want to be at a sacrifice--that's understandable, and I think more people than not would rather not attend one. That's fine. And certainly since it's explicitly not a part of ADF ritual, I wouldn't expect to see many posts favoring it on an ADF list.

What I don't understand is the extreme reaction that some people have to the concept. What, exactly, do they think goes on at a blot or other animal sacrifice? Generally they are done by people who raise their own food animals anyway--the only thing that is different from their normal practice is the religious context.
