Answer


Practices of Hindu animal sacrifice  are mostly associated with Shaktism and in currents of folk hinduism strongly rooted in local tribal traditions. Animal sacrifices were carried out in ancient times in India. Hindu scriptures such as the Gita and some Puranas  forbid animal sacrifice


A Sanskrit term used for animal sacrifice is bali, in origin meaning "tribute, offering or oblation" generically ("vegetable oblations [... and] animal oblations,").Bali among other things "refers to the blood of an animal" and is sometimes known as Jhatka  Bali among Hindus.

The Kalika Purana  distinguishes bali(sacrifice), mahabali (great sacrifice), for the ritual killing of goats, elephant respectively, though the reference to humans in Shakti theology is symbolic and done in effigy  in modern times. For instance, Sir John Woddroffe  published a commentary on the Karpuradistotram, where he writes that the sacrificial animals listed in verse 19 are symbols for the siclx enemies , with "man" representing pride.

It literally transfers to goat sacrifice as
Bakra - goat
Bali - sacrifice
