RALEIGH, N.C. -- A Muslim group plans to slaughter 100 lambs on a farm this weekend as part of a religious rite, but state officials plan to be there with their video cameras to monitor what they consider an unlicensed slaughterhouse.
The arrangement is the result of negotiations between the state, the Muslims and father-son farmers Kenneth and Eddie Rowe, who have leased their farm in rural Princeton for use during Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice.

I read the title and thought of Christians.
Are they going to eat the lambs? Isn't a slaughterhouse a place where animals are slaughtered for human consumption?
Islamites having to act on their nature - to kill something.
But the distinction is that killing Christians raises no legal issues at all for them.
Probably killing them because "Dead men lambs tell no tales".
Could be. Think Jersey City, NJ, last Sunday.

And thinking 'bout ya!
The cowards from PETA will be nowhere to be found.
That is so two thousand years ago. It's amazing someone still does something so archaic in the name of religion.
Good point.
Well, these ARE islamites doing the killing. Prolly they're to practice beheadings.
Slaughtering infidels is their way as well. Doesn't make it right.
The fact that it is a religious ritual doesn't override the state interest in regulating how animals are slaughtered. Kosher slaughtering is regulated, for example, despite it's ritualistic nature. Even if the livestock isn't eaten there are still other valid public health concerns.
Look, the moslum cult is a barbaric, inhumane way to control people. It has nothing whatso ever to do with God.
P.S. You lie, slaughtering infidels IS THE MUSLIM WAY.
Those persons, if they SERVE that quantity (100) of slaughtered animals to anyone for consumption, should be held to the same standards as a slaughter facility.
Their religion has no place among sanitation law enforcement.
