Sorry Seshadri. Chappaikattu we call it. The term sacrificial meat is too well known in Hinduism. The story of Vathapi and Agasthya is often quoted to show that the Brahmins ate meat. Accept it and leave it. Appayya Dikshita performed the Vajapeyayagna sacrificing horses. Please see

We do not need to sanitize Hinduism. That would be a sacrilege. Even an Aghori is a Hindu. BTW there is a specific word in Sanskrit which denotes an Adhithi for whom a cow is sacrificed. Vegetarianism and Go Samarakshan are later ideas.
