Detroit-area city OKs animal sacrifice for religious reasons

yesterday

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.

The Hamtramck council in December had voted to continue a ban on animal slaughter but reversed course, at least for religious reasons, after legal advice and objections from people who follow the Islamic faith, the Detroit Free Press reported.

“If somebody wants to do it, they have a right to do their practice,” council member Mohammed Hassan said.

You don't actually want to fix it

Hamtramck is um.. unusual. 100 years ago, it use to be a suburb. Unfortunately for them the city of Detroit expanded all around it such that now -north, south, east, west- it is entirely surrounded by Detroit and essentially Muslim inner-city for all intents and purposes.

The Polish built the place but they don't live there any more, they abandoned it two-three generations ago.

Grabbing little Fido or Boots off the street and sacrificing it for some god is obviously bad.

But how is "slaughtering" a goat and consuming the meat any different that harvesting the family sow?

The food chain is natural. Slaughtering animals for sacrificial purposes is weird? 

Meh, to each their own. Just don't get careless with the animals and start spreading odd diseases out into the public. Coming from a guy who craves small government, there should be some safety regulations put on animal sacrifice.

It's easy. Muslim = good, in fact all religions are good. Other than Christianity.

Not yet...

[Drizzay 646]

The story doesn't say exactly what the "sacrifice" is, though. Say a few prayers before slitting the animal's throat?  I do the same before field dressing a buck.

Just need to get rid of a few more white people. Then we can make Detroit Just like Baghdad... Well maybe not as safe as Baghdad, but diversity is our strength.

that is PETAs argument.  they rail against speciesism.

Speciesism (/ˈspiːʃiːˌzɪzəm, -siːˌzɪz-/) is a term used in philosophy regarding the treatment of individuals of different species. The term has several different definitions within the relevant literature.^[1] A common element of most definitions is that speciesism involves treating members of one species as morally more important than members of other species in the context of their similar interests.^[2]

PETA sees humans are just another animal.  as such, if animal sacrifice is OK, then so is human sacrifice.

Unless you're talking about infidels. In that case diversity can get you killed.

No no no it's a strength. EVERYONE knows when you make a chain you make it out of a bunch of different metals. Diversity is our strength.

True. Dissimilar metals never corrode when they come into contact with each other. They just get stronger.

If they don't advertise that they are a "No Kill Shelter", it's most likely death row for any inmate that doesn't get paroled.
