Hi,
Seriously, in one sense I agree with you. While a balance needs to be maintained, protecting animals is a worthwhile cause. On the other hand, this stinks of political correctness. I'm sure that there are more serious problems both in terms of numbers effected and of injury done for your government to address. If not, congratulations on living in a near perfect place.
The value of a law as anything other than a political statement depends on how well it is enforced and how big a punishment it earns. More interesting than these votes is what is being done a year from now. If the intention is strictly symbolical done for political hay, then I'd rather the law not be passed at all rather than that the legal code be further encrusted by meaningless additions.
