From |  RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the Animal Rights Act 2073 | | Message | Note that this does not mean that animals can't be used in medical research, but we believe that animals should not suffer because some people want to look good. |

From | Libertarian Alcoholic Par-tay | To | Debating the Animal Rights Act 2073 | | Message | But we kill animals every day. We don't absolutely have to, but we do. We could all live as vegetarians, but we chose not to, because animals are a lot less important than people. |

From | Postmodern Party | To | Debating the Animal Rights Act 2073 | | Message | Yes, we have to, because we need those proteins. If we would all be vegetarians, we would have to get those out of vegetables, but that means we wouldn't have enough crops to feed us all. |

From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Animal Rights Act 2073 | | Message | You can get plenty of protein from vegetables...considering that the human race has done it for thousands of years and will keep on doing it (peasents generally didn't eat meat, far too expensive) |

From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Animal Rights Act 2073 | | Message | I am sorry i part with you on this LAP but i also beleive that this must be regulated to prevent cruelty to animals. It is only cosmetics and it is not banning it so i will support this measure. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
