General Assembly Resolution #498 “Ban on Forced Blood Sports” (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
This Grand, Revered and Venerated World Assembly,
Observing the passage of the resolution "Ban on Forced Blood Sports" (GA#498), which forbade most instances of blood sports from occurring;
Disturbed that GA#498 prevents member nations from utilising animal cruelty in the form of blood sports to create revenue streams through gambling, a despicable endeavour that bankrupts many well-intentioned bookies;
Dumbfounded that religious sacrifice is excluded from the definition of blood sports for no good reason, not only allowing barbaric practices to continue without penalty on the basis of religious dogma, but also incentivising the usage or creation of religions as a pretext for blood sports, undermining the resolution's effectiveness;
Dismayed at the horrondous typographical error in clause 4a of GA#498, not only unbecoming of the high standards of this assembly but also likely resulting in differing interpretations of the clause by member nations, confusing member nations;
Disturbed that a blood sport which occurs between a person and an animal, but the person consents and is the only participant at risk of endangerment, such as more humane bullfighting where the bulls are not placed at risk of harm and are released in the end, are prohibited as per GA#498; and
Firmly convinced that GA#498 is a poorly written mess of a resolution, and should be removed from standing international law;
Hereby repeals GA#498, "Ban on Forced Blood Sports".
