aye

[Franzl]

NAY

[Napoleon]

No one else wants to be able to market our agricultural products overseas? Why not?

Ahem. Can we not even debate a bill anymore?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Is it based on paranoia or some kind convenient cover to protect domestic agriculture in the EU?

I do find it hilarious that Europe of all people is rejecting science, the irony is just so rich it is priceless...starts laughing for ten minutes.

Also, has the government moved to take these measures as a means to try and motivate the EU to change its course?

[Niemeyerite]

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Okay I am going to open this then, but I need someone to compile the Final Text for me, since it is huge and I am running out of time and need to go off the site for a few hours. Thanks in advance.

Senators, this bill is now at final vote, please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

Aye

There are some pretty solid restrictions in here, even if some outright bans are lifted in the process and such doesn't negate that in my opinion. I think overall it is improvement on current statute, especially since it has the effect of consolidating the animal protection policy into one statute.


Since this has enough votes to pass, Duke can call 24 hours on vote changes.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This bill has enough votes to pass, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.



Is it a coincidence that regained my PPT powers as "Sympathy for the Devil" is playing on the radio?

Like Yankee, I believe this to be an imperfect improvement on current statute, with a great deal of thought put into the process by Nix, as well, who's judgment is (usually) sound. I approve!

I'm glad to see that this bill was toned down from the original language.

I'll need to look through the bills it is replacing to see what kind of impact it could have on our farm economy.  I personally support the bill... but you have to understand that it will have a significant impact on meat producers and farmers and ranchers that raise animals for food.
