Bill: Protection Of Animals Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: McGillicuddy Serious Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: December 2442
Description[?]:
Corporations are currently allowed to use animal testing in both cosmetics and medicines. This country doesn't allow torture to be used humans, why should it tolerate torture against animals. This bill isn't just about saving some bunny rabbits; it makes sense from a business standpoint as well. Corporations could adopt these methods which are more cost effective, better predictors of human injury, produce far quicker results, and do not involve animal cruelty. Why don't all companies become cruelty-free? On of the main reasons is the fear of product liability suits, which will be something this party looks into in the future. |
