Best Answer

It could be 'human' sacrifice, if one of the lives that you come back to is that animal.

Animals can be just as divine as humans.

Answer:

There is no prohibition of animal sacrifices. in general Buddhism has no prohibitions but rather suggestions of ways to lead a more skillful life with a minimum of suffering. Buddhism does however hold that a person should not harm another sentient being - sentient meaning a being possessing awareness.
