| Message | Mr Speaker, The Animal Liberation Front states that for some severe crimes only severe punishment can be an appropriate answer. Those who do not respect the integrity of a fellow soul, lose the basic right to a decent treatment. The Animal Liberation Front will therefore vote against this act to keep this punishment available. May the spirits of life guide you on your vote. |
