1) I've read a few of Kardec's books but I'm not at all an expert on the subject. I know that he was very highly regarded by many occultists in his time, however.
2) The African traditional religions have been practicing animal sacrifice for a very long time, and I assume they know what they're doing. I don't recommend it in my tradition, but then it isn't something we do. On the other hand, I've slaughtered animals for food -- I think everybody who eats meat should have that experience -- so I don't condemn the basic activity.
