HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (AP) — Residents of a Detroit-area community with a large Muslim population can sacrifice animals at home for religious reasons.
The Hamtramck City Council explicitly approved the practice, 3-2, Tuesday, another step in recognizing a cultural shift in a city whose 20th century history was shaped by Polish immigrants.
Muslims often slaughter animals, typically goats or sheep, or pay someone to do it for them during the holy holiday of Eid al-Adha. Meat is shared with family, friends and the poor.

“If somebody wants to do it, they have a right to do their practice,” council member Mohammed Hassan said.
But here in California they are banning rodeos and we have to have cage free chickens laying our eggs. Where the hell is PETA?

Watch MI and the surrounding states quickly become a festering boil of murder, rape, mayhem, and economic emptiness.
God doesn’t play with this.
See Haiti for a clue.

By the way, the Muslim city used to be the biggest Polish immigrant area. Auto workers at the big Chrysler plant said they worked “at Dotch Main.” (biggest Dodge plant).
Wikipedia:
Hamtramck is surrounded by the city of Detroit except for a small portion that borders the fellow enclave city of Highland Park. Hamtramck is by far the most densely populated municipality in the state of Michigan, and the only Muslim-majority town in the United States.
Surrounded by Detroit, sounds comforting./S

PETA members recognize the folks slashing the throats of animals in their front yard or a city park, letting them bleed out then butchering the carcass, happen to be holding large knives and consider their necks to also be religiously appropriate targets. And that the attire and attitude shown at many PETA protests makes them even more appropriate targets.

No protests from “animal rights” types? If it was Catholics doing it they'd be tossing petrol bombs at churches.

That’s one of the biggest lies I’ve ever heard. If islam really was the religion of peace, they would stop with the jihads and the terrorist attacks.

recognizing a cultural shift in never mind it's not 'cultural' in American society to slaughter animals for 'religious' reasons. I suppose allowing honor killings and stoning of women will be next since it's also 'cultural shifting' ??

Farwell to the idea of using goats or sheep as green lawnmowers.

That's not sacrificing, that's butchering. And I doubt most cities have rules explicitly against it. Sanitation issues if you do it out on the balcony maybe, but not much else.

Any animals get killed in rodeos besides and occaisional human?
