In ancient Mesopotamia, animals such as sheep, goats, and cattle were commonly sacrificed in religious rituals. These sacrifices were often performed to appease the gods, seek favor, or ensure good harvests. The practice was integral to their religious ceremonies and was believed to maintain cosmic order and divine favor. Birds, such as pigeons, were also sometimes offered in these rituals.
