Mr. President Pro-Tempore, and All Members of the Senate:

Upon review of the First Amendment to the Bestiality Act, the last clause is unconstitutional due to the fourth clause in the Rights to Justice section in the Bill of Rights. Ex-post-facto laws are unconstitutional.

Because of this, I am serving notice that I will be vetoing this bill should it make it to my desk.
