The Universal Pet Protection Act
By Cypriot Island And South St Maarten
The World Assembly,
Acknowledging that there are thousands of cases of pet abuse worldwide,
Noting that pets are often subject to violent abuse,
Understanding that no pets should be subject to abuse and harm,
Acknowledging that pets are animals owned by families and are not farm animals,
Hereby,
1. Establishes the International Pet Protection Agency (IPPA), an organization that campaigns for pet rights while trying to bring pet abusers to justice.
2. Affirms that pet owners must:
A. provide the animal with food, care and housing appropriate to its species, its requirements and behaviour;
B. may not restrict the animal's possibility of species-specific freedom of movement to such an extent as to cause the animal pain or avoidable suffering or harm;
C. possess the knowledge and skills necessary for providing the animal with adequate food, care and housing in accordance with its behavioural requirements.
3. Prohibits the arbitrary unethical killing of pets, and any other unnatural violence against pets, which includes but is not limited to beating or abusing pets and chaining them to cages
4. Encourages member nations to promote non-WA nations to accept this resolution.
