Hamtramck City Council votes to allow animal sacrifice for religious purposes in city

After months of debate, the city council has voted to allow the practice of animal sacrifice, for religious purposes, in Hamtramck. The decision ultimately came down to a more than 30-year-old U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says cities cannot infringe on religious freedom under the first amendment. The act of animal sacrifice is often practiced among Muslims during Eid.
