they probably do that somewhere in the world. if you think about it, war is a human sacrifice because the government takes them to war, where they could get killed. they are sacrificing their lives for their country.

Answer 8

There are all sorts of urban legends about cults doing this kind of thing, either in America or Africa. 99% of it is complete rubbish, though there are the odd cases where people were murdered for Muti rituals. This isn't really ritual sacrifice, instead they murder people and steal body parts.

Here is a link about a suspected case that happened in Europe a few years back. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/17884...
