Best Answer

Some believe that roosters were used in voodoo rituals because they were an easier animal to sacrifice. Larger animals would be harder to carry to different places to perform the voodoo.

What is Haitian voodoo?

Like any other religion, Voodoo brings great benefits. Participation in Voodoo ritual reaffirms one's relationship with ancestoral history, community relationships and the cosmos. Voodoo is a way of life. For those it touches, it is impossible to define. Many would simply state "Voodoo is a beautiful religion" and, while true, it is far more than that. Voodoo is religion, culture, heritage, and philosophy. It is also art, dance, language, medicine, music, justice, power, storytelling and ritual.(see related link)
