Sacrifice was done for two reasons:
1. As part of the act of repentance for unintended 'sin'.
2. To give thanks to HaShem (The Creator).
The types of animals that were acceptable for sacrifice are listed in the Torah. However, sacrifice didn't require animals, many other items were equally suitable, including fruits and vegetables, coins, and jewelry. When there is no Temple, prayer replaces sacrifice.
