It's a bit older than christianity....a -bit-. lol. As much as it pains me to see Frodo get something right (I knew it would happen if I just waited long enough - success!), there is no shortages of rituals, myths, legends, rites, and superstitious this or that's that do nothing at all -except- express the reverence that people felt for the creature and process that put the dinner on the table. This current in our psyche persists to this very day. I was raised to be disgusted by trophy hunting - but to be appreciative of hunting for dinner - and respectful to the animal that was going to get the sharp end of a short stick.
Rats with horns lives were given a value- and if anyone in my family went around shooting animals for the fuck of it (squirrels -sometimes- excluded) they'd be stared at like a deviant at the dinner table they weren't invited to.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
