Bill: Ban on animal testing

Details

Submitted by^[?]: Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition

Status^[?]: passed

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 2063

Description^[?]:

This bill would criminalise the use of animals in testing cosmetic products. This is similar to the bill "Animal Rights" proposed by the NFL, defeated January 2049.

In discussion about that bill, the CCF stated that "if animal testing contributes to human health by allowing safe drugs to be developed, the CCF is in favour of conducting it to a limited extent." In this case, we would like to note that these are cosmetic products, and not drugs, as stated by the CNT/AFL in that prior discussion.

Proposals

Article 1

Proposal^[?] to change The use of animals in cosmetics research.

Old value:: The use of animals to test cosmetic products is unregulated.

Current: Animals may not be used for testing cosmetics products.

Proposed: The use of animals to test cosmetic products is regulated.

From	Chorus of Amyst
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	The Council notes that seeing as cosmetics must also be tested for SAFETY, this testing contributes to human safety. Do the other parties not believe that there are chemicals in cosmetics that may end up harmful to humans?

Date	08:51:17, June 05, 2005 CET
From	Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	It is the MLP's view that people should take the self-responsibility to avoid any products harmful to themselves.

Date	11:06:42, June 05, 2005 CET
From	Chorus of Amyst
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	How will they know that they're harmful until some human tries it and suffers? It's better than an animal be used for testing than a human.

To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	Animals are living organisms, they have as much rights as humans in the view of the MLP. Perhaps the best way were to ban such products totally, but since there isn't an option for it...

Date	11:32:14, June 05, 2005 CET
From	Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	We urge the Council and SAP to reconsider. Perhaps the makers of these products could try them on their spouses. (( meh :P ))

Date	11:55:45, June 05, 2005 CET
From	Chorus of Amyst
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	Animals do not have the same rights as humans in the view of the Council. A human life is far more valuable to us than an animal's. We do not see them of being of equal value.

From	Chorus of Amyst
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	It is nice to see that the PACF will continue to attempt to injure and kill human beings even if they do stop their overt violence.

Date	13:38:15, June 05, 2005 CET
From	Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	We would like to note that this should in no way harm humans if they take necessary precautions...

Date	17:44:36, June 05, 2005 CET
From	Chorus of Amyst
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	How will they know what the necessary precautions are if they don't know what harmful effects a product might have? This is one issue where the Council does regulate the market, as refered to in the PACF democratic principles bill debate. Without testing, companies could possibly release products that are rather harmful, without even realizing what harmful effects are being caused. Or does the MLP intend to begin essentially saying what people can and cannot buy?

Date	23:09:49, June 05, 2005 CET
From	Chorus of Amyst
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	The Council is appalled that so many of our peers believe the life of a human to be more expendable than that of an animal.

Date	00:03:16, June 06, 2005 CET
From	CNT/AFL
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	The CNT/AFL believes that the life of an animal is more important than appealing to the narcissism of humans.

Date	00:21:09, June 06, 2005 CET
From	Lodamun Centre-Left Coalition
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	The MLP appreciates the PACF's support on this matter despite the two being at extremem ends of the political spectrum. We hope for the CCF's support as well/

Date	00:51:02, June 06, 2005 CET
From	Cooperative Commonwealth Federation
To	Debating the Ban on animal testing
Message	You have it. The parliamentary CCF has now formed a coalition with some environmental organizations. By a 2-1 decision of the temporary steering committee of the CCF-Greens (one member abstaining), we are voting for this bill in defence of the principles of deep ecology.
