The sacrifice ended with the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. It was forbidden to offer sacrifices anywhere else. In Acts 21 there were 4 men who had Nazarite vows. Paul went to the Temple with them to help them complete their vows (Acts 21:26). This involves animal sacrifice (see numbers 6:1-21), so Paul was involved in animal sacrifice well after the Crucifixion .
The notion that Judaism would have abandoned animal sacrifices with the death of Jesus makes no sense.

The Temple was destroyed by Titus, the son of Caesar in the year 70 AD. That ended animal sacrifice by Israel.

Folks, the Book of Hebrews (whether written by Paul or another even more obscure Christian) was written long after the Temple was destroyed. I really don't believe that the "sacrifice" of Jesus had anything to do with the end of animal sacrifice. Perhaps when (and if) the Temple is rebuilt those sacrifices will be resumed.

Animal sacrifice ended when the 2nd Temple was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans. Sacrifice can not be performed in any other place other than in the Temple on Mt Zion in Jerusalem. Before Jesus returns a 3rd Temple must be built . Whether it willbe built next to or in place of the Muslim Mosque and the Dome currently on God's Holy Hill remains to be seen. We know that a Temple must be built because of the prophesy of Daniel 9:27 . Daniel is speaking of the anti-christ in the middle of the 7 year tribulation causing sacrifice to cease. In order to cease there must be a temple built to start it in.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease Dan. 9:27

one night, a guy was waiting alone with a goat. He was waiting for his buddies to show up with the beer so they can sacrifice the goat. Well, it turns out his friends stayed back to watch the end of the game and the guy who was left all alone out in the desert with the goat ended up banging the goat. So, after that when the Israelites started dating and having serious relationships with the animals, the sacrifices stopped......untill they were really hungry then they would bang the goat and eat it.

It ended with the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., when Titus sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the only place permitted to offer animal sacrifices - just exactly as Jesus predicted.
"Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. "Do you see all these things?" he asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
Matthew 24:1-2

70 AD when Romans destroyed the temple where sacrifices were made. No temple, no sacrifices.
Rabbinic Judaism replaces the need for a temple in Jewish worship.

70 AD, when the Romans destroyed the Temple. Jewish law forbade private sacrifice - all sacrifices had to be performed in the Temple (according to the reforms of Josiah).

It ended w/the crucifixion of Christ. The animals that were sacrificed were lambs without blemish. They were used to cover the sins of the people. They needed something perfect to redeem them because they were sinful.
Christ's death and resurrection was the end of the need for animal sacrifice. Christ came as the perfect lamb that was slain for our sins. He died and rose again once and for all. The only thing we need to do is believe in this gift and we will have eternal life with him. When Christ was on the cross, he said "It is finished", meaning he had done the work, we have been redeemed and there is no need for anything else but this sacrifice.

Before Jesus died on the cross, in order to wash away a sin there had to be blood shed of the most perfect animal a person owned. When Jesus died, he was the "Perfect Lamb". There is nothing more perfect then the son of God. So there no longer had to be blood shed. That's why they say "Jesus died for our sins" because he was the perfect sacrific.
