Monthly Photos Jan 2026 : Sacrificed Pig Bread

Photos taken by ILCAA staff and associates are posted here once a month; most of them are taken during their field research in Asia and Africa. (The copyright belongs to the photographers.)

In Taiwan, as awareness of animal protection has increased, animals used as offerings in ritual sacrifices are sometimes made of bread, rice, or noodles.
While the practice of offering real pigs also continues in some communities, there is ongoing debate among the public over the appropriate forms of ritual sacrifice.
