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."

I actually plan on submitting this within the next week or so, after its accumulated enough feedback unless there's a compelling argument against it. That being said, please do comment and criticize!
