“Animal sacrifice is called matanza,[226] with the person carrying it out termed the matador.[227] This is usually a man,[228] with menstruating women prohibited from involvement.[134] Birds—including guinea fowl, chickens, and doves—are commonly sacrificed, usually by having their throats slit or their heads twisted and ripped off.[229] For rituals of greater importance, sacrifices are often of four-legged animals.[74] Some practitioners describe the killing of animals as an acceptable substitute to human sacrifice,[230] and in Cuba there have been persistent rumours of children being sacrificed in Santería rites.[231] The oricha and egun are believed to “eat” the blood of the victim;[232] the latter’s lifeforce is deemed to transfer to the oricha, thus strengthening its aché.[233] An animal that struggles to avoid being killed is sometimes understood as having particular strength which will then pass to the oricha.[233]
Once killed, the animals’ severed heads may be placed on top of the sopera belonging to the oricha to which the sacrifice has been directed.[234] After the carcass has been butchered, some of the organs—known as acheses—may be cooked and offered to the oricha;[235] other parts will be eaten by practitioners.[236] Some of the blood may be collected and added to omiero, an infusion of herbs and water.[227] Believed to contain much aché,[237] this liquid is used for removing malevolent influences and in ceremonies for baptising ritual tools.[227] Santería’s animal sacrifice has been a cause of concern for many non-practitioners.[238] It has sometimes brought adherents into confrontation with the law,[239] as with the 1993 case of Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that animal cruelty laws targeted specifically at Santería were unconstitutional.[240]”

Sacrifices to JOBU and Kammy, Jammy, Mammy. It’s either the Haitians or the “media mafioso” who is trying to cover up for the weirdo Caribbeaners.
How can they be hungry? They get plenty of benefits, surely.
Has there been a TexasGator sighting in Bangor???
Although the MSM quickly criticized Trump for his cats and dogs comment, of course twisting this into a racist issue also, the truth is that cats and dogs are on the menu in many parts of the world.
When I was in Korea 98-99 I refused the Kagogie. South Korea, just this year banned the production of dog meat: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67920167
As usual, the MSM attempts to make Trump out as crazy, racist, sexist, ridiculous... but he’s actually probably right.
Before the MSM pretended like this doesn’t happen:

https://www.thedailymeal.com/9-countries-eat-cats-and-dogs/11414/
There are actually 14 countries where dogs are on the menu.
Funny how when Trump says something, suddenly it becomes racist, ridiculous, sexist, outrageous... even if the MSM themselves covered the same topic years prior.
it is animal sacrifices as an offering to the spirits
Bingo. It's happening right here in Flyover, USA now. But nobody can stomach making memes about that because it is too disturbing.
t appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless crature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too-in some more double complex way, involving doublethink-Syme, swallow it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”
― Orwell George, 1984
