It's very simple: Allow the ritual slaughter of animals, then also allow the ritual slaughter of people...
A majority of senators in the upper house of parliament voted on Tuesday not to ban the ritual slaughter of animals. The draft legislation was introduced by the pro-animal PvdD in the lower house in June 2011 and passed by a large majority of MPs. It first went to the senate last December but was voted out.
At the time, party leader Marianne Thieme blamed the failure to get it through the senate on 'an enormous lobby' by religious groups. She vowed to start working on a new law. It is this new legislation which has now lost the vote for a second time in the senate. Most of the major parties voted against, saying it went against the law on religious freedom.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
