Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #145: Animal Cruelty Prevention (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The World Assembly,

DETERMINING that "Animal Cruelty Prevention" does not address certain complexities, and that it neglects to place safeguards on certain exceptions that it grants:


"Animal Cruelty Prevention" considers any "reasonable person" qualified to determine the degree of care appropriate for an animal, rather than relying on expert advice that might be offered by a professional, such as a veterinarian;



Anyone is allowed to mistreat an animal, so long as the mistreatment is for religious reasons;



The definition of domestic animals can also be applied to humans, thus legalizing the sacrifice of human beings and other sapient creatures;



"Wild animals" may be abused or mistreated with impunity;


BELIEVING that these flaws may lead to grave and unintended consequences;

ASSERTING that it is in its best interest to repeal ineffective legislation, such as resolution #145;

Hereby,

REPEALS General Assembly Resolution #145, "Animal Cruelty Prevention."
