The twenty-first century is witnessing a number of initiatives to improve the liv­ing conditions of animals - worldwide, at the regional and the national level. While the debate on which status should be granted to animals is still undecided, a consensus has emerged about the need for animal welfare and the (moral and legal) obligations of hu­mans towards non-human animals. Today, animal welfare and our moral obligations to­wards animals have come to be accepted as part of public morality. This article draws at­tention to this change in moral and legal thinking over the past decades. The consequenc­es of this change are put to the test with regard to a specific protective measure concern­ing animals - the prohibition of un-stunned (ritual) slaughter. It will be argued that if public morality in the 21st century does indeed include respect for the welfare of animals, it may serve as a legitimate aim to limit the freedom of religion and with that, the practice of un-stunned ritual slaughter.
