Those who refuse to comply can simply leave the country.
Slitting the throats of sheep in public during Eid al-Adha as well as kosher and halal slaughtering are cruel and disrespectful not only to animals but to our culture and to all self-respecting human beings.
In modern civilized societies such as ours, animals are not slaughtered without first making them unconscious with a stun gun. Bleeding to death a conscious animal by slitting its throat, the jihadist way, is an act of great barbarity that all civilized people strongly condemn.
This despicable practice, which is banned in Switzerland since 1893 - more recently in Sweden, Denmark, Slovenia, and since January 2019, in Belgium - must stop.
Mutilations in Animals
Civilized people also condemn conventional mutilation in animals, such as onychectomy (claw removal) in cats, big cats, and sometimes rabbits; ear and tail cropping in dogs; dewclaw removal (supernumerary toes with no anatomical function); removal of anal glands in ferrets (which contain a very foul-smelling substance, a real skunk odor), tooth extraction (usually canines) in big cats and monkeys, removal of dogs' vocal cords to prevent them from barking, and sterilization, i.e., castration for males and ovariohysterectomy for females.
These procedures are performed with varying frequency depending on the neighborhood, region, country, and the needs and interests of each individual. With few exceptions, their purpose is not therapeutic; they are therefore not surgeries in the true sense of the word, but rather mutilations. Veterinarians are called upon to perform these procedures to serve clients who want to transform or sculpt their “children” into a more attractive or accommodating form, as one would do with an ornamental plant.
In animals, conventional mutilations, with the exception of castration and hysterectomy (spay), are now theoretically prohibited, particularly in Europe and in several provinces of Canada, including Quebec, and soon in Russia, as these forms of animal abuse can have serious physical and psychological repercussions.
Cats, for example, are sometimes left permanently disabled by the removal of their claws. Hysterectomy at a young age is also associated with chronic urinary incontinence in adulthood due to a lack of estrogen, a hormone that plays an important role in the urinary sphincter tone. This common condition often results in the animal being abandoned (see this blog post on the real reason for sterilization).
Mutilations in Humans
The same can be said about circumcision in humans. These religious rituals are as barbarous and cruel as aesthetic mutilations in animals such as ear cropping in dogs and declawing in cats.
In humans, this mutilation devoid of humanity is theoretically illegal in many countries. In France, for example, Article 16-3 of the Civil Code states the following:
The integrity of the human body can be impaired only in the case of a medical necessity for a person, and exceptionally, in the therapeutic interest of others. The consent of the person concerned must be obtained beforehand except when his condition necessitates a therapeutic intervention to which he is not in a position to consent.
This mutilation, which is practiced before the victims are adults - at the age of eight days for Jews and between five and eight years for Muslims - are inflicted without the informed consent of the victims. From a legal point of view, this archaic ritual can therefore be considered as child abuse.
In a secular society such as ours, religion does not have precedence over the law, and the law must be the same for everyone.
Those who refuse to comply can simply leave the country.
As a matter of fact, according to traditional Islam - true Islam - if Muslims are unable to practice their religion as they should, the Koran invites them to emigrate and not to put themselves in conflict with their adoptive society as do the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafi movement (Islamic fundamentalism) and other fake Islam's that thrive in our societies.

As far as Jews are concerned, if they want to continue living in the Middle Ages, they can always move to Israel, the paradise of ritual circumcision, kosher slaughtering, and the killing of Palestinian babies.
