Hamtramck to allow animal sacrifice

[Honky Tonk]

With considerations of a potential religious freedom suit, the Hamtramck City Council voted Tuesday night to allow the religious sacrifice of animals on residential property.

Thoughts? Should this matter in the face of the daily mechanized mass slaughter of animals in slaughterhouses that goes on?

From today's Free Press...

A new section was added [to the city animal ordinaces] that is titled “Religious Animal Sacrifice.” It says that the other parts of the ordinance, which prohibit animal cruelty, can't be used to “hinder the religious freedom of any person or group.” It also says animals slaughtered must be killed in a humane way, whether by mechanical or electrical means; or by means often used in kosher and halal practices, “whereby the animal suffers loss of consciousness by anemia of the brain caused by the simultaneous and instantaneous severance of the carotid arteries with a sharp instrument. “

Let's hope an Aztec population doesn't start to grow.
