No. Animal sacraficed stopped in 70 A.D. when the last temple in Jerusalem was destroyed.
Clarification:
Sacrifice was only applicable for unintended sin, and even then, was meaningless without atonement. Sacrifice can only be done in the Temple, when we are without the Temple, prayer replaces sacrifice.

∙ 12y agoNo. All animal sacrifice requires the existence of the Temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed in the year 70 by the Romans.

∙ 11y agoJews already have their own temple it's also known as a synagogue. I don't believe there are too many animal sacrifices happening in them though.

Jews stopped doing sacrifices when the Temple was destroyed by Imperial Roman Forces in the year 70. The Torah explicitly forbids doing sacrifices anywhere but "the place which I will show you." That place is taken to be the location of the Temple in Jerusalem. However, the Samaritans still do sacrifices. They say that the place is Mount Gerizim, which is where they do their sacrifices. Also, there are some extremist pro-settlement Jews practicing for the restoration of the Temple as soon as Muslims are driven from the Temple Mount.

Why were people selling animals in the temple?
Well, they were not selling them in the Temple, they were selling them in an outer courtyard. Until it was destroyed, the Temple was a center where Jews brought animal sacrifices. The Torah, when it commands the sacrifices, says that you could bring your own animal, but if the distance was far, you could "turn your animal into money", then travel and buy an animal in Jerusalem to sacrifice. So, from the start, there was a livestock market at the Temple where animals could be purchased to sacrifice. The rules for sacrificial animals were fairly strict: The animals had to be without blemish. So, the market was under priestly supervision to assure that the animals sold there met the requirement.

Lambs were slaughtered at the original event in Egypt.

Once established in Israel with the Temple, there were two animals that were sacrificed for Passover. Each family would slaughter a lamb as an offering of thanks to HaShem, the meat would then be roasted and eaten. A goat would also be slaughtered at the Temple as an offering of atonement for the Nation for any mistakes the Nation made as a whole community in the previous year.
