[GA - Quorate, Illegal] Repeal "Ban on Forced Blood Sports"

[Magecastle]

Repeal "Ban on Forced Blood Sports"
Category: Repeal | GA #498
Proposed by: Tinhampton | Onsite Topic
Replacement: End Blood Sports​

---

Recognising that, with the full ban on blood sports involving animals put into place by Articles 1-3 of GA#498, the keepers of animal blood sport participants (ABSPs) can choose either to release them or to keep them captive,

Concerned that, when discussing the release of ABSPs, GA#498 fails to specify:

1. what a "significant risk of harm [or] danger" is,
2. whether an animal's release to its natural habitat must avoid endangering that habitat,
3. what kind of habitat animals that pose no "significant risk" should be released into, and
4. whether the release of animal participants should be humane just as their euthanisation must be should it take place,

Noting that these ambiguities could hence allow members to do more harm than good to their natural habitats while complying in good faith, thus potentially rending Articles 4a-4c self-defeating,

Concerned that, in view of these ambiguities, keepers of ABSPs that pose no "significant risk of harming itself of others" may choose to retain them in captivity due to Article 4's utter failure to require that such ABSPs be let out of captivity for as long as they pose no such risk, and

Hoping that any future WA-wide regulation of blood sports will have clearer writing, clearer effects and clearer mandates on member states than did GA#498...

The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#498 "Ban on Forced Blood Sports."

Note: Only votes from TNP WA nations and NPA personnel will be counted. If you do not meet these requirements, please add (non-WA) or something of that effect to your vote.

For. This makes a strong argument, and apart from some generally small polishing, the replacement is also well-written.

 

[AraFuttio]

For. I think that Tinhampton may be taking the ambiguities a bit too far, but I think the fact that they areproposing a better written replacement pushes me to for.

I am not sure about the replacement. But I am making comments on that on the forum side.

This is now quorate, although it has also been marked illegal by one Gensec member. Thread locked, but will be unlocked when this is resubmitted.
