Looked it up. I think the Haitians use the term “the goat without horns.” But I didn’t know that was human sacrifice associated with Voodoo, and apparently it was pretty rare an associated with “Don Pedro” or Petro rites. It is apparently a substitute for pig, though.

United States, and unmitigated abuse in Haiti, I decided again to look into the question with the greatest care. The result has been to convince me that I underrated the fearful manifestations; I have therefore rewritten these chapters, and introduced many new facts which have come to my knowledge.”[16] In view of this last statement all our quotations will be taken from this Second Edition of the work.
Let us, then, carefully weigh the testimony of Sir Spencer St. John. At the very outset, he states: “I must notice that there are two sects which follow the Vaudoux-worship—those who only delight in the flesh and blood of white cocks and spotless white goats at their ceremonies, and those who are not only devoted to these, but on great occasions call for the flesh and blood of ‘the goat without horns,’ or of human victims. It is a curious trait of human nature that these cannibals must use a euphemistic term when speaking of their victims, as the Pacific Islanders have the expression of ‘long pig.’”[17]
We must here remark the careful distinction between the cults in Haiti, and while the author does not also distinguish them by name, the legitimate cult, if we may so term it, is Voodoo proper, while the cannibalistic element belongs to Don Pédro. Further, it should be noted that while the human sacrifice is called the “goat without horns” it is really substituted, not for the goat of Voodoo, but for the pig of Don Pédro: just as in those Pacific Islands that are referred to, where the term “long pig” is used.
But to resume St. John’s narrative: “When Haiti was still a French Colony, Vaudoux-worship flourished, but there is no distinct mention of human sacrifice in the accounts transmitted to us. In Moreau de Saint-Méry’s excellent description of the island, from whose truthful pages it is a pleasure to seek for information, he gives us a very graphic account of fetishism. as it existed in his day, that is, towards the close of the last century.” He means of course the eighteenth century. Then follows a lengthy citation from the very passage that we have already quoted.
