Tibet sky burial was practiced for many years. in this practice the deceased was ritually dissected and left as an offering to which animal?

Vultures.

Explanation:

In Tibetan religious rituals, the dead are not buried. Instead, they are dissected and given to vultures.

The practice of sky burials is one of the religious burial practices of the world. Practiced by the people of Tibet and most generally Tibetan Buddhist religions, the body of the dead person is kept for 3-4 days in the corner of the house. During these three days, the lamas or monks are called to purify the soul of the person, by chanting scriptures for helping in the smooth passage of the soul to eternity. After the three days are over, family members will chose a lucky day for the body to be disposed off. The body will then be taken to the burial ground, which are usually in the mountainous regions, far away from the residential places. There it will be chopped up by the professional celestial burial master.

Once the body is ready, smoke will be burned to attract condors or vultures, who will be feeding on the dead bodies. It is believed that if the vultures eat the body, then the person is safe and will be redeemed. But if they reject the meat, then the person will not have a safe passage to Paradise. The bones and remaining parts of the body will be broken by the masters and burned to redeem the soul of the person.
