Home animal slaughtering is asking for trouble

The city council, in a narrow vote, wisely kept the city’s ban on allowing animal slaughtering at residences.
There were protests from some in the community that this violates their constitutional right to practice their religion.
Bunk.
People can still practice whatever religion they like, but what you can’t do is make this community unsanitary with animal remains spoiling in backyards, garages or basements.
For those on insisting that they have a right to slaughter their own animals, such as goats and lambs, they can still do so at a proper facility that does butchering.
In fact, home animal slaughtering and butchering is asking for a lot of trouble if someone doesn’t know how to do it properly without contaminating the meat.
Where is it written in any religion that animal slaughtering must be done at home? One’s religious freedom ends when the public health is put at risk.
Unfortunately, this issue is far from being resolved. There is now serious talk of having a council sub-committee look at ways to allow home animal slaughtering, but with regulations as a sort of a compromise.
That is absurd.
There is no compromise when it comes to the community’s sanitary well-being.
Unfortunately, it looks like some form of home animal slaughtering (for religious observances) will ultimately be permitted.
Some have said that, if this practice is allowed, Hamtramck will become a joke.
It’ll be worse than that. Hamtramck will become unsafe to live in.
