rights for pugs and other creatures

Postby The republic of pugland » Wed Feb 13, 2019 2:52 pm

Other creatures have been mistreated by owners for a millennia. We must give pugs and other dogs/animals that are pets rights to not be mistreated.

/sarcasm mode Think of this as Jeopardy, but instead of "the form of a question", the requirement is "form of a draft".

That is to say, do you actually have a plan or just an idea you want someone else to write up for you?

For a start, you could define pets, animals, creatures, rights, and mistreatment.

The government is elected from pools of experts in whichever fields are necessary, with polarizing issues having a minimum quotient for political balance (like abortion rights would be decided by a mix of pro-choice/pro-life expert advocates, for example).

(OOC: Welcome to the GA. Unfortunately, this isn’t quite what happens here. A forum topic that wants to have a piece of legislation in place should contain a draft for submission in the future to the World Assembly. Luckily, the extant animal rights resolutions have all been repealed, so if you want, you could try drafting a bill to address the problem, though I suggest having a look at some passed resolutions first.)

Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

Proposals also need more detail than "Don't mistreat animals." Legislation needs to be concrete enough for member states to understand the exact impact of resolutions on their national policy.

The mere existence of a pug is a form of animal cruelty. Extermination would be one way to remove such cruelty...

Or was this a serious draft?

Absolutely not. We should be oppressing animals if anything. Heavy subsidies to the farming industry.

OOC
Welcome to the GA, and congratulations on having the sense to discuss your idea here instead of just going ahead and submitting a version of it: Far too many new would-be-authors jump straight to the submission
stage, and most of their proposals break at least one of the rules.
You can find those rules, and a searchable thread listing the passed resolutions, stickied ta the top of this forum.

To help you get started, proposals about the welfare of pets & other domestic livestock normally fall within the 'Moral Decency' category.
