NationStates Jolt Archive

Aparently vegitarianism is compulsory in my state. I know this is linked to an animal wellfare bill but I sided with buissness that wanted to keep chopping up animals.

I think nation states has fucked up big time here.

Please remove compulosry vegitarianism.

#7: Animal Liberation Front Strikes Again

The Issue
The increasingly militant Animal Liberation Front struck again last night, freeing dozens of chickens bound for delicious snack packs.

The Debate
1. "These nuts have got to be stopped," demands concerned consumer @@RANDOMNAME@@. "They need to face the fact people want snack packs, no matter how many innocent chickens must be sacrificed. Besides, chickens would do the same to us if they had the chance."

2. "These Liberationists are highlighting an important issue," pleads @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Too often, animals are put through needless cruelty, just to make their flesh taste a little more deliciously succulent. I'm sure we could ban the more horrific abuses without putting too much of a dent in our national obesity figures. Couldn't we?"

3. "Animals have feelings too!" yelled protestor @@RANDOMNAME@@, before being set upon by hungry passers-by. "Free the animals! Ban meat-eating!"

4. Economist @@RANDOMNAME@@ has an alternative. "You don't need to take away the people's right to choose. You just need to build the costs of animal suffering into the price. A tax on meat-eating, in proportion to the amount of cruelty involved, would do the trick. Plus think of the benefit for the national coffers! Of course, poor people wouldn't be able to afford meat, but that's just more incentive for them to get jobs."

...then I believe you may have mistakenly selected choice three.

Thank you mr mod!

*hug*

Im sorry nationstates lets never fight again

Is there anyway I can fix this?

I feel like the laughing stock of the right wing utopias with banning meat.

It'll go away eventually if you don't do it again.

It'll go away eventually if you don't do it again.Meat will go away if we don't eat it ? :eek:

* Runs screaming to Mc Donalds to ... on second thoughts, runs screaming to a butchers, just to make sure ... ;)

Just to add my two cents, yeah, as you decide on more issues, the complusory vegetarianism will get pushed off your nation screen, and further-more, your bound to get that issue again one day, so sooner or later you can of course reverse the decision, so any " harm " can be repaired next time around. :)

Just the next time an issue comes up concerning meat or animals, choose the choice that against the fuzzy little critters.
