You might try the following...
Several contributions to: Anthropozoologica Numero Special (1987) "La
decoupe et le partage du corps a travers le temps et l'espece" refer to
ideology associated with animals and with animal butchery and animal
sacrifices. In addition to several papers in that volume you may want
to look at:
BRISEBARRE A.-M., 1989.- Sacrifier un mouton pour l'Ayd el-Kbir dans la
rgion Parisienne. L'animal dans les pratiques religieuses: les
manifestations materielles, numro spcial d'Anthropozoologica, p.163-172.
and
SIDI MAAMAR H., 1989.- Le sacrifice du mouton pour la fte musulmane de
l'aid el-Kbir en Algrie: cas et essai d'interprtation
techno-symbolique. L'animal dans les pratiques religieuses: les
manifestations materielles, numro spcial d'Anthropozoologica, p. 157-162.
Another possibility would be searching the on-line journals for references
to animal burials/mummification!
Good luck
