Bill: Animal Freedom Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Hutori Socialists

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: August 4144

Description[?]:

This Act recognises that the domestication of exotic animals is negative because they are necessary to their respective ecosystems, and it is truly detrimental to their welfare. This pure violation of animal rights needs to cease, and all exotic animals must be released into their real habitat. By restricting these exotic animals to confined places in an attempt to domesticate them, we violate their right to freedom. End this barbaric and inhumane practice now.

MessageWhile The Nationalist Republican Party does not consider animal rights an vital part of it's agenda, we will favor and support this bill on the basis that this act prevents an possibly uninformed population from holding exotic animals, and that the proper institutions will manage the unfortunate decline in exotic animals and other threatened species.

MessageExotic animals are to rare and in some cars dangerous to be kept as domestic pets because they aren't tame. Leave a lion alone with a child and the lion will slaughter the child without thinking because animals don't think the same way as domesticated pets. It is most important that we go about removing exotic animals from their sometimes abusive owners and put them in the caring hands of the zoo.

But can I ask the socialists if pythons and parrots will be included in the ban?

MessageAll animal species considered to be 'exotic' by international standards will be banned from domestication. While I assume most, if not all, pythons will be classified as an 'exotic species', there may be some types of parrots that may not fall into this category.

Message''Mr. Speaker

I don't think the Hutorian Socialist Party really understand the meaning of ''exotic animals''. Here by exotic we meant ''that came from a foreign country''.

We would indeed support a bill that would protect animal right, but since banning every animals that came from another country has nothing to do with animals right we cannot support this bill.''

Message"Mr Speaker, Mrs Eloise Rogers of the National Progress Party has a misinformed definition of exotic animals. They are defined generally across any reliable educational source as "a rare or unusual animal pet, or an animal kept within human households, which is generally thought of as a wild species that is not typically kept as a pet." We strongly urge the National Progress Party to reconsider their vote on the Animal Freedom Act, in the name of animal rights, which they supposedly support. By voting against this, you jeopardise our international reputation as a nation of equality and liberty."

MessageOOC:I am pretty sure that here the word ''exotic'' mean that it came from a foreign country. But since there is a disagreement, I will try to ask on the forum about this.

Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play.
