Until further notice:

I, Torsiedelle, give Placenza permission to vote on my behalf for all bills unless I submit votes different to that of Placenza's, in which case my votes will nullify the votes that Placenza has cast for me, and my votes will be counted.

I may revoke this, and vote for myself again, if I should become more active in the future. At the moment, I am stuck with other activities.

I vote nay.

This should have been stated in a point of order.

I believe it is the PpT's job to figure this out.

I can safely say that I won't be supporting the Bestiality act. If no animal is hurt in the act, then I have no problem with it. (See: Tidelag in Sweden for an example)

I would like to add that I don't see how you would keep those convicted out of zoos/pet shops. The only ones with access to the information is police officers. Should we put police in every Petco and petting zoo?

The following has gained enough sponsors to be added:

That would probably fall on the heads of store security, who in most cases, are tasked with preventing shop lifting and other offenses.
