Abstain

“We abstain from this bill. Port Avalon has no significant agricultural land or livestock industry, so these regulations have little relevance to our domestic economy. However, animals transported through our port are still our responsibility while they are in our care. We support reasonable welfare standards for animals passing through Port Avalon and believe that basic protections against cruelty must remain in place.”
