Are sacrificed permanents considered destroyed in MTG?
Nope, sacrificed permanents are not considered destroyed in Magic The Gathering. When you sacrifice a permanent, you're basically sending it to the graveyard as part of a cost or as a result of an effect. 'Destroyed' usually happens due to damage or a spell/ability that specifically says 'destroy'. So, if something triggers upon destruction, sacrificing won't trigger it.

As someone who's sacrificed more creatures than I care to admit in my MTG days, I can confirm: sacrificing is NOT the same as destroying. They're like apples and oranges in the game. Destroy effects and sacrifice effects trigger different responses and are treated completely differently by the game's rules.
Short answer: No. When you sacrifice something, it's not the same as destroying it. Different rules apply!
