Indicate whether the statement is true or false.The Santeria religion, derived from Africa by way of Cuba, uses the sacrifice of animals as part
of its religious ceremonies. The animals include chickens, pigeons, doves, ducks, guinea pigs, goals, sheep, and turtles. After a sacrificial killing, the animals are cooked and eaten as part of the religion. In 1987, the Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. leased land in the city of Hiahleah, Florida, where the Church planned to build a house of worship, cultural center, museum, and school. When residents of the city learned of these plans and expressed dismay, the city council called an emergency meeting and declared concern that “certain religions may propose to engage in practices which are inconsistent with public morals, peace or safety.” The city council then passed city ordinances to restrict animal sacrifice. It defined “sacrifice” as “to unnecessarily kill, torment, torture, or mutilate an animal in a public or private ritual or ceremony not for the primary purpose of food consumption.” It also passed an exemption from this restriction for slaughtering animals “specifically raised for food purposes” which would excuse licensed slaughter houses. The Church sued the city, claiming that the ordinance violated their First Amendment right of free expression of their religion. The city did not try to argue that Santeria is not a religion. When the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case, the Court agreed that Santeria is a religion. The Court also said that religious practices need not be “acceptable, logical, consistent, or comprehensible” to others to be practices protected by the First Amendment. The fact that the city council exempted other animal killings shows, the Court said, that the Santeria religious practice was being singled out for discriminatory treatment in violation of the First Amendment
