Why is this done some may ask? It is very much supprted in theory by the bible. Remember the story of Legions? The man who lived by the cemetary and had Legions of demons possessing him, hence the name. Jesus cast out the demons into a nearby herd of pigs. Those pigs wild with demons ran off the cliff and killed them selves therefore shedding blood. Well tis the same belief. Santero/a will take the Bad health, Witchcraft, or negative issue off of a person and put it in to the animal. COuld be a chicken, goat, or Cow. Then they get sacrificed to God or the saints. IN the same way it was necesarry for Jesus to shed blood for our sins to be resolved. SOmetimes a sacrifice is in order! I hope this opens some minds up!
