What scriptural and Vaishnava evidence supports sacrificial rites within Sanatana Dharma?
The Valmiki Ramayana and Tantrik scriptures document sacrificial rites; Lord Rama's own Kuldevi is Badi Kalika, texts like the Krishna Sandapani Tantra describe related rites for Krishna, traditional offerings occur at Jagannath Puri, and the Kalika Purana describes Vishnu supporting the Goddess in his fierce Mahasimha form.
