Santeria Controversy

Let us, as civilized people, immediately make clear that we will not tolerate blood sacrifice of any kind in the name of any “religion.”

It is appalling to find that this kind of savagery is going on. Santeria is a euphemism for voodoo, and purports to deal in spells, curses and philters. Religious freedom cannot be stretched to include the senseless killing of any creature, lest it later include your pet cat or dog, or yourself.
