Those Who Sacrifice Men Will Kiss Calves

Those Who Sacrifice Men Will Kiss Calves

A figurative designation of moral hypocrisy of people who nurture animals and care for their welfare, yet at the same time ignore human beings and their needs (literally: sacrificing men at a time when they kiss the calf, not seeing the contradiction in the act).

("And now they will sin more and more...they say to themselves, "The sacrifices of men and calves shall cease" - Hosea 13:2)
