It dont matter if it is or not. Salvia isnt illegal, but I know I shouldnt do it.

You're also from a different culture. You are experiencing ethnocentrism, which is viewing another's culture through your owns eyes and judging another culture based on your own.

There are very few human universals and treatment of animals is one of those things that different cultures clash on. Indians view cows as sacred, we eat cows like it's nothing. It's all about what culture you were raised to learn, and in his culture, this is a perfectly acceptable thing. No one is saying it's right in our culture, because obviously it isn't. However, he was following a norm in a culture and country where such a thing is acceptable.
