Abstract

The decision and the main grounds are analyzed in the judgment of Extraordinary Appeal 494.601 by the Federal Supreme Court, known as the "animal sacrifice case". The premises that guide normative and non-normative arguments are identified. It is concluded that the Supreme Court gives a "weak" interpretation of the constitutional principle of the secularity of the state and attributes a preferential position to the fundamental right to religious freedom.
