Witch hunts in Europe and, to lesser extent, in colonized parts of America weren't that different.

Witch hunts were capital punishment inflicted on pagan worshipers, not human sacrifices, and they were several tens of thousands in the span of three centuries.

Executions in Spain, Portugal, and Italy combined are estimated to have been 1000 in total. [1]
