Dogs are sacrificed to Ogun; sometimes chicken. Other African Traditional Gods accept various types of animals where the blood is used for efficacy and as energy. Why then does the JOS condemn sacrificing animals to Gods? I want to do a ritual to Ogun and Oshun; how would I do it without doing the animal sacrifice?

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood; and never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
NIV
...and Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
...and the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

Regarding this last one - does that not sound like a contradiction? Well... Anyway... Also - "The old testament doesn't count anymore!" Really? Then (Genesis's 2 accounts of "the" creation don't count either, then, and) in the
new testament, "god" says it is "the same yesterday, today and forever".
Have you ever smelt burning flesh? This explains clearly that the jew is rotten and disgusting to the core, in more than one sense of those words. Remember
1-tenth, a tithe, equals slavery; the Gods and Goddesses want us free, and They don't require money nor materialistic bribes. Burning, making a "sacrifice", is not high society, it is not improvement, it is not building-up; it is worse than belittling, worse-than making less (literally, causing to be nothing but stink and ashes); it is worse-than degrading; it is very destructive and deathly, extremely and obviously.
Also -
Did not Nazi Germany create Animal Rights? The reason I am sharing these Nazi pictures is because what we call Nazism/National Socialism is actually Spiritual Satanism; Nazism from 80 years ago is a political party, movement, etc., but the core meaning and intention is Spiritual Satanism.
These are not related directly, but they expand the point -
