Just like typical uninformed anti religion posts that are crafted to provoke attacks on our CREATOR and true Christainity, someone made a post that seems to blame the lost of life on religion rather than ignorance. It like blaming the death of conovirus victim who refused vaccine to science rather than pseud-science even though no human science should be trusted
Here is the link to the post:

If you take that away, the enemy will have a free reign and introduce all manner of evil practices I'm sure the world will turn into jungle where animal and human sacrifices and all manner of abomination are permitted.
There are good reasons why bloods are drained from animals and buried in the ground when you slaughter them with knives. It was because true religion made us to do so, which was later copied by the world. I believe some primitive cultures like the Maasai still drink their animal bloods rather than dispose them. There are places where bloods are still cooked and eaten
The word of our CREATOR forbids drinking/eating of blood for two main reasons, number one: blood is sacred, just like life... According to the scripture: there is life in the blood. Drinking or eating blood can be very addictive and could turn people into blood sucking vampires in order to feel youthful or happy. Secondly, blood is use for spiritual cleansing. In the old times if someone does something really evil that's causing lot of issues in his life, which is typically due to curses, he maybe required to place his hand on a clean/pure animal, and chant certain words in order for the creature to take the curses in his place. That curse goes to the blood of the animal. Christains do not do this since our MESSIAH has washed away our sins with HIS own blood.
Drinking or eating cursed animal blood can transfer those curses to you.
This is why it's necessary to screen a donor blood to endure it's free from curses like diseases. If a blood is clean, then there absolutely nothing wrong in sharing it with love ones or others. We are only forbidden from drinking/eating blood for our sake.
It's just like the part of the scripture that forbids followers from eating vultures, dogs, pigs, lions and other animals that are prone to being dirty or unclean . Imagine unbelievers or the ignorant ones using that to mock christains because someone who is starving refuses to eat the unclean animals to survive. Meanwhile, the word of our CREATOR is not rigid to the extent of forbidding people from consuming those things for the sake of their survival. But people like the pharesees of the old thought it was that rigid, and they misinterpreted the scripture, but our MESSIAH corrected them by letting them understand that the law was meant for the good of man. This mean it can be broken for the good of people.
