Did Jesus being a devout Jew kill any of the animals himself for obligatory animal sacrifices?
 
I don’t think that Jesus would have ever sacrificed animals in the Temple. That was done by the Temple priests. He certainly ate meat, but I don’t think that there is anything in the Bible regarding Him personally killing an animal.
 
I agree with the above. Jesus would have brought animals to be sacrificed, but the people themselves did not slay the animals, as this was done by the priests alone.

Although the Bible doesn’t mention Jesus taking an animal to the Temple for sacrifice, under Jewish law, which we know he obeyed, there are at least two times I can think of, where Jesus would have been ‘unclean’ under Jewish Law and would have needed to bring a sacrifice: when he touched a dead body and raised the little girl from the dead, and when the woman with the constant menstrual flow touched him.

Do you think Jesus ever got annoyed by flies and splatted them? 😁

There are many times Jesus would have been unclean. Every time he touched a leper, he himself was made unclean. If he touched a woman who was bleeding, he would have been unclean. And when he had a seminal emission, he would have had to purify himself. If he was in Jerusalem, he would have gone to the Temple. If he were in the Galilee, clearly not. But every time he was in Jerusalem, he would have worshipped in the Temple and thus brought some kind of animal offering for sacrifice.
 
Sacrificial animals, no-that would have been done by the priests.
Fish - countless numbers of fish died at the hands of Jesus, and some were roasted by Him over a fire.
A herd of swine went over a cliff at His command.
 
He sure killed a fig tree dead. But that’s not an animal, last time I checked. 😀
 
Technically it was the demons, that possessed the pigs, that killed them.
