Resumen
This thesis aims to understand the factors that placed the ritual sacrifice of
animals on the agenda in legislative assemblies and municipal chambers in
Brazil. Therefore, a theoretical analysis was carried out to reflect on the issue of
ritual sacrifice of animals, through the ethnographic method, participant
observation at the Centro de Umbanda Pombagira Rainha in Natal/RN, analyzing
the life trajectory of Pai Canindé and his son Pai Igor, where he discussed
aspects such as syncretism (FERRETI, 2014), conflicts inherent in sociocultural
processes, social dramas (TURNER, 2008), and actions of religious prejudice
related to the Afro-Brazilian universe. Thus, the thesis postulates the relationship
of two movements that led to the prohibition of animal sacrifice rituals of AfroBrazilian religions to the Legislative and Judiciary Power: the increase in
Evangelical parliamentarians and the context of the expansion of the speech in
defense of rights of the animals. Regarding the religious prejudice that permeates
this discussion, I presented elements of the crossroads epistemology proposed
by Rufino (2019), as a coping perspective.
