Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, Alorian law is severely lacking when it comes to the protection of those least among us - the animals. Private companies are allowed to do cruel testing on intelligent beings who can feel pain, for the sake of their own profit. We allow whaling for profit as well. The law even gives humans the right to capture wild animals and keep them from their natural habitat. We cannot accept how this merciless exploitation is allowed to go on year after year, against those who cannot speak for or fend themselves. Myfanwy Morgan, Minister of Environment and Tourism (WD) |
