Men kill animals and eat their flesh. Phillipe Moyez killed a goat and he did it at home in a manner consistent with his beliefs. It's certainly not a religious practice performed by everyone, it's not as common as circumcision, it's not as common as the belief that wine transforms into blood, some people handle poisonous snakes to prove their faith, some people walk on fire. Phillipe Moyez killed a goat and he did it while observing his constitutionally protected beliefs. This case is not about keeping goats transporting goats or goat licensing, The city was clearly less concerned with the care of the animals than the manner in which they were slaughtered. The city timed this police action to catch my client exercising his constitutionally protected right to religious freedom

Men kill animals and eat their flesh
00:00:04.336 --> 00:00:08.174
Philippe Moyez killed a goat
00:00:09.241 --> 00:00:11.177
He killed a goat
00:00:11.544 --> 00:00:13.813
And he did it at home
00:00:13.979 --> 00:00:17.249
in a manner consistent with his religious beliefs
00:00:18.317 --> 00:00:20.092
Now some people may find that bizarre
00:00:22.221 --> 00:00:25.825
It's certainly not a religious practice performed by everyone
00:00:25.991 --> 00:00:27.893
It's not as common as say
00:00:28.999 --> 00:00:29.195
Circumcision
00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:32.999
It's not as common as the belief that
00:00:32.198 --> 00:00:34.008
wine transforms into blood
00:00:35.568 --> 00:00:39.104
Some people handle poisonous snakes to prove their faith
00:00:39.839 --> 00:00:41.907
Some people walk on fire
00:00:42.408 --> 00:00:44.003
Philippe Moyez killed a goat
00:00:44.051 --> 00:00:46.378
And he did it
00:00:46.545 --> 00:00:49.949
while observing his constitutionally protected
00:00:50.115 --> 00:00:51.483
religious beliefs
00:00:51.065 --> 00:00:53.001
MERTO COUGHING
00:00:53.252 --> 00:00:57.156
Your Honor this case is not about keeping goats
00:00:57.323 --> 00:01:00.726
or transporting goats or goat licensing
00:01:00.893 --> 00:01:04.999
The city was less concerned with the care of the animals
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:06.866
than the manner with which they were slaughtered
00:01:07.996 --> 00:01:11.077
If the city cared as deeply for this animal as they claim
00:01:12.371 --> 00:01:16.675
they would've conducted their raid 10 minutes sooner
00:01:16.842 --> 00:01:17.877
COUGHING
00:01:18.006 --> 00:01:19.999
Maybe they were off having a burger
00:01:19.645 --> 00:01:20.846
Objection
00:01:21.005 --> 00:01:22.001
Okay Enough enough I got it
00:01:23.002 --> 00:01:24.316
MERTO COUGHING
00:01:24.483 --> 00:01:25.584
Let's wrap it up
00:01:26.218 --> 00:01:28.387
Your Honor
00:01:28.554 --> 00:01:31.123
the city timed this police action to catch my client
00:01:31.001 --> 00:01:35.928
exercising his constitutionally protected right to religious freedom
