It was greatly exaggerated by the Spanish as a means of validating European conquest and cultural superiority; it was a religious act essential to the grant of rain, sun, and other blessings of the gods; it was an intentional use of a widespread practice to terrorize their neighbors and to keep the lower classes subordinate; it was a form of population control to lower population density; it was a response to a lack of protein and the absence of large mammals associated with animal sacrifice.
