Well, I was mostly thinking of animal sacrifice.

Actually some Christians have not, but you pc pagan crowd don't dare because it would offend your sensitivities, the old pagans would laugh at you.

Neo-pagans is a recent term, and so we have not had to "give up" blood sacrifices; most of us have never done them.
There are, however, magical acts that involve blood. Usually just a very small amount, used symbolically, and it need not cause pain. But sometimes people do more than "prick a finger" for magical purposes. I have never been involved in one that required more than that of me; I'm a coward. And I have only ever seen it done completely voluntarily. Frankly, I don't think it is necessary.

I don't because I'm afraid some wacko will have me investigated if I do. Alas. My Gods demand the fat and bones of a sacrifice and the human participants must utilize the skin and meat. The blood is gathered for use in magick spells. Unfortunately, because I have neighbords, I am unable to perform this particular act of worship. Oh I could simply give the bones and fat from the meat that I bought at the grocery store to the Gods, but I believe it is immoral to eat any animal you did not personally kill, or at least witness the death of. Therefore, I am a vegetarian.

Mostly because it's duecedly inconvenient for most people. Most apartments these days won't even let you keep a cat, let alone a cow or some chickens.
As with most people, today's meat-eating Pagans generally get their meat in sanitized, styrofoam-packed bundles. As such, other routes need to be taken - the giving of non-blood offerings, for example.

Christians haven't. Thats why they enjoyed The Passion of the Christ. It was a 2 1/2 hour blood fest.

If it's human sacrifices, then it's against the law.
