How should cities handle religious animal slaughter on residential property?

Hamtramck, Michigan, allowed religious animal slaughter on residential property in a 2023 ordinance passed by its all-Muslim city council in a 4–2 vote. The ordinance exempts ritual handling and preparation of livestock from restrictions in the city’s animal code and defines permitted humane methods, including a method based on religious requirements. Residents conducting sacrifices must dispose of waste according to local, state and federal law. Some residents and others objected to the prospect of slaughter at home.
