| Koohii Story 1 | Animal sacrifice = taking the life of a cow. |
| Koohii Story 2 | In the 21st century, animal sacrifice is no longer really necessary. We can take a single cell from a cow, with no harm to the cow. We create a viable cell line from this single cell, and feed the resulting biomatter into a furnace at the exact rate necessary to appease the gods. |
