"I have to say that in my neighborhood if I saw a person worshiping or sacraficing an animal for there practicing faith I would highly be offended and do whatever I took in a civilized manner to make them stop.
"

Would you? Why? If they were on their own property and engaging in whatever passed for their form of worship, what business of yours would it be?

What, exactly would you object to? Worshipping an animal? Killing an animal? Do you eat meat?

I'll tell you something: If you did this on private property, you'd be trespassing and subject to arrest. People have the right to worship as they see fit, including the right to sacrifice animals, if that's their form of worship.

Some animal sacrifice practices would violate animal cruelty laws in many areas.

No one has the right to break the law and say they are doing it for there religious faith, they would be the ones subject to arrest.

Muhammad Ali went to Jail: Was it religion protected?
Animals have rights on our country so people are not allowed to do whatever they please to an animal.

Even though I totally thing your wrong as 2 men sleeping together for being an atheist I respect you as a person and would be offended if you brought your idea to the fore-front as our country was never founded on anything or anybody that did not acknowledge a higher power than just another human being
