[Passed] [ga]: Repeal: “End Blood Sports”

[Lenlyvit]

General Assembly Resolution

Repeal: “End Blood Sports”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#683

Proposed by: Simone Republic

General Assembly Resolution #683 “End Blood Sports” (Category: Moral Decency; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Believing that the definition of "blood sport" in the target resolution as a "competitive activity" excludes the morally questionable practice of inflicting violence on animals for entertainment without competitive aspect,

Concerned that the target resolution's continuation on the books precludes a cohesive replacement to fix that exclusion and of the sort that certain factions in the Assembly believe is desirable, and

Registering complaints for the record as to the largely unnecessary, duplicative, and dubious character of and surrounding recent legislation on this topic, hereby

Repeals GA 683 "End Blood Sports".

I find this argument unconvincing. Yes, the definition of "sports" involves competition. If the repeal author would like a resolution that makes animal abuse without the competitive aspect illegal, then they can write one.

It may just be the lack of coffee but I found the second paragraph incomprehensible. Pantso recommends Against.

[Astrobolt]

I concur with Pantso , this resolution is frankly incredibly dishonest. Nothing inherent in the resolution prevents banning animal abuse. Its a shame to see such a misleading proposal passing so easily.

[Jabberwocky]

If Simone wants a cohesive replacement, they should write one. Their rationale is not sufficient to repeal. AGAINST.
