"Ramayana describes Aswamedha Yajna in which a captured horse, let to roam on its own in the grasslands for a year, is cut three times by the queen, bled to death and its omentum is roasted and smelled. "

No, Sri thebigthinbkg. The Ramayana says no such thing. It ends with the makudaabhishegam of Sri Raama.

The Uttra-raamaayanam from which you probably quote, is not accepted as genuine by a large body of learned purohits and Puranic scholars. It is regarded as an unauthorised later addition, to dim the glory of the original Ramayanam extolling the virtues of Lord Rama. It is to be rejected as lacking authenticity. It is disregarded by Brahmins doing home paaraayanam of Valmeeki's true Ramayanam.
