Bill: Ecological Priority (Step 3)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2424
Description[?]:
| We have an idea that focus on issues such as international stability, technology improvement and science projects will be better to overcome enviromental issues and will do it faster and more effective. We do not need these old views similar to enviromental dictatorship, we need to change our traditional views and challenge our ideas. Furthermore we need to accept that fundamentalist enviromentalism only keeps us in a state where problems is seen everywhere. Why not loosen up and think creative and innovative. Furthermore we do not see that we need restrictions on the keeping of wild animals if the owners can assure that the safety around the keeping is taken. We believe that this law actually allows for personal freedom with the regards to pets but also take into account the safety of the public good. |

| Message | It is inherently impossible to guarantee the safety of the public, the owners and the animals should the general public be allowed to keep wild animals as pets. The definition of a wild animal is that it is undomesticated and unpredictable and we should not allow anyone to own such animals as there can be no guarantee to safety. |

| Message | well isn't it us and experts that decide on "necessary meassures"? We shall as soon as this passes (or in the bill description next time we propose this) create a Wild Animal Keeping Security Agency to operate and control security together with service the people interested in and keeping wild animals... WIth such a body it will be more controlled and also more safe to keep wild animals. |
