Fact Check: Yes, Muslim-Majority US City Has OK'd Animal Sacrifices, and It's Even Worse Than Story Currently Going Viral
It’s a claim that you’ve probably seen going viral on social media and dismissed as some sort of anti-Muslim fear-mongering: In Hamtramck, Michigan, an all-Muslim city council has decided to allow ritual animal slaughter, provided it’s done for religious reasons.
“Muslims will be allowed to sacrifice animals in Michigan,” conservative commentator and comedian Terrence K. Williams posted on X earlier this week.
“Hamtramck City Council, whose members are all Muslim, voted to amend its animal ordinance to permit religious animal sacrifices on residential property. Residents must notify the city at least a week in advance, provide the date and time, allow post-sacrifice inspections for cleanliness, keep the act out of public view, and follow humane slaughter methods.”
