Any satan worshippers out there? Hamtramck City Council passes religious animal slaughter ordinance

Interesting the opposition arguments, even when this passed in 2023: "... Opponents say they're concerned about odors, kids being traumatized and community health violations ..." Elsewhere on the boards, some folks suggest this sort of thing might be good as a way to teach more people - including youth - where food comes from and the natural order of things. We'll have to see how it continues to unfold, right?

Late add: More from both sides of the 2023 debate ...

Hamtramck used to be 100% Polish when I was a kid growing up in Windsor. My Mom knew a lot of people from their when she was younger, she grew up in a 90% Polish, 10% Irish neighborhood in Detroit close by. We used to go to Polish bakery and deli stores in Hamtramck during the weekend and bring it all back to Windsor. Some of the best rye/caraway seed bread came from there.
