Bill: Animal Registration Act (2180)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Deltarian Nationalist 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: May 2182
Description[?]:
| This bill is mainly aimed at registering cats and dogs as it would be rather impractical to register smaller pets. The bill is an attempt to prevent the stray cat and dog population in Hobrazia from rising. The animals would be registered at a vet clinic for a small fee and a microchip would be put under it's skin. The chip would contain details about the animal and the name and address of it's owner. This would mean that if the dog is ever found wandering then the chip can be scanned and the dog returned to it's owner who will be then fined for failure to contain her pet. This means that strays would go straight back to their owner rather than to a pound where it may never be picked up. If an animal is found abused or dead then the chip can be scanned to find the owner and then an investigation can be held into the abuse. |

| Message | Pointless bureaucracy. If people are "abusing" animals then they would likely avoid any registration nullifying the bills purpose. |

| Message | They would have to buy the animal first. All breeders would have to initially chip and register the pets, therefore there would already be a record of these animals and would encourage those who sell their pets to keep note of who they have done business with. |
| Date | 14:20:19, February 06, 2006 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Animal Registration Act (2180) |
| Message | We would prefer national registration as it would be more cost effective using a single national system rather than multiple local ones, however we support due to the principle. |
