Demanded payment in grain, livestock, spices, various oils and perfumes, and human life.
I never had a problem with the incense requirement. As a kid, it broke up the monotony of church with a moment of "this smells nice." A burning bull might not have worked so well, which is (I suppose) why livestock aren't set aflame anymore.
Which brings me to another question: how come fundies are so concerned about gay marriage and stuff... but you don't hear them lament livestock not being burned? God really digs livestock being set aflame. It is uncontroversially stated in the OT and not rescinded in the NT. So how come no animal burning no more?
Here's my best guess: the stench.
