Not sure enough to be a canon answer.

Big one that comes to mind is the Aztec culture. Human sacrifice was a
part of their religious ceremonies - think ripping human heart out of a
living victim. They'd treat the sacrifices real well until their
death. Kinda like fattening up the calf in a way. (This translates into
Aztech in shadowrun times). Celt Druids used sacrifices, but this was
willing sacrifice if I recall, but that varies by who you read really.
