“While we do support animal welfare and previously voted yes, we have realized after deep consideration that a bill like this would trigger immense inflation, the current law that regulates the farming standards and anti-cruelty laws, are perfect for Marianne and ensure individual liberty and a prosperous economy, in addition there should be a balance between rehabilitation and punishment, rehabilitation during incarceration is much more appealing and keeps the country safe while promotion change.”

“While we agree on prison reform, we cannot let said reform be tied to good intention, but poor outcome policies. These animal welfare laws will drive up for prices for the impoverished, only worsening their living standards. We weight the morals of the suffering of poverty over that of animals when we are forced to chose.”

“This bill would make our citizens healthier, along with rehabilitate and reintegrate criminals, however if the crime rate goes up a further bill to undo Article 2 would be considered.”

“This legislation represents a dangerous dilution of the fundamental principles of law, order, and sound economics. Under the guise of compassion, it proposes measures that would devastate our agricultural sector and undermine the rule of law. Banning efficient, modern farming practices in favor of rigid mandates will destroy the livelihoods of hardworking farmers, inflate food prices for families, and weaken our national self-sufficiency at a time when we need production, not paralysis. Worse still, its approach to criminal justice swaps accountability for empty sentimentality. Society cannot function when punishment takes a back seat to feel good rehabilitation. Crime must be met with firm, unwavering consequences, not leniency. True progress does not come from binding our producers in red tape or coddling wrongdoers. It comes from personal responsibility, economic freedom, and a government that protects law abiding citizens.”
