| Message | I believe that with strict enough regulation, animal welfare can still be protected, whilst allowing the cosmetics industry to grow Dr. Julia Baker Majority Speaker of Congress |

| Message | All this bill is doing is allowing regulated cruelty to animals, something that's not fair and must be stood against. Ms Baker, should this bill pass, you will possibly see some benefits in the short term. But as time will go on, the effects of this legislation will be rendered useless, meaning innocent animals will be hurt needlessly with no result to show for it, because of your bill - June Brown, Minority Speaker of the House |

| Message | Ms Brown, I do not stand for 'regulated cruelty to animals'. As I have already set out, stringent regulation will mean that animal welfare will be protected and regulation will prevent any potential for it. There will be no cruelty to animals, and if any company does not abide as per regulations, then they will be prosecuted under the law. Regulation is a better option, because when testing is illegal some companies still do it anyway, whereas when it is regulated, enforcement is consistently checking and actively evaluating and assessing the welfare of animals as per the regulation. This is a better option, for animals and for the economy. Dr. Julia Baker Majority Speaker of Congress |
