Animal Protection Act [LAW'D]

[Marokai Backbeat]

Which are inactive?

The Pacific is rather inactive.

Friends, we have a chance today to pass an important piece of legislation that will fight to end the cruelty of animals. Or, we can "leave it to the regions", which could take weeks, even months to complete. In that time, over one hundred thousand animals will probably die due to cruelty or neglect. Thousands of animals, because a few insisted that regional rights were more important than animal rights in this case.

This bill will magically stop the cruelty occurring to these animals upon its passing? Hardly. No need to drum up hysteria. Besides the Pacific, all regions are capable of passing something like this whenever they so please. We don't need the federal government making all the laws for the regions. Let them decide.

In the meantime, thousands of animals can die in the process of these bills getting through. This is election season, and I doubt it would pass in any region within the next couple weeks. But seeing as this Senate simply thinks preserving regional rights is more important than saving the deaths of thousands animals, I guess we'll just have to hope regions do this as quickly as possible.

Regional rights is a sham, anyway, and regionalists are often ripe with hypocrisy. Of course we should mandate federal standards whenever possible.
