A state adopted a statute making the ritual slaughter of chickens illegal. The legislative debates made clear that the purpose of the statute was to prevent unnecessary cruelty to animals. The religious leader of a church located within the state, whose core religious beliefs require ritual slaughter of chickens during worship services, brought suit to have the statute declared unconstitutional for violating her right to practice her religion. How will the court likely rule

Invalidate the statute, because it targets only ritual slaughter

Explanation:

Invalidate the statute, because it targets only ritual slaughter

The court will probably strike the statute because it targets ritual slaughter. Even though the First Amendment provides that the free exercise of religion shall not be truncated.. The Supreme Court has stated that the amendment does not allow the government from outlawing religious beliefs and it has struck down a statute similar to the one here that outlaws conduct merely because it is religious (i.e., ritual slaughter of chickens is prohibited).
