Should i submit this issue? what do you guys think?
ISSUE:
An attack by a pet pit @@ANIMAL@@ yesterday raised new concerns about public safety
DEBATE:
[option]Lawyer @@RANDOMNAME@@ has a simple idea on how to proceed with such a decision: "When a human kills somebody, we put him or her on trail. I say we legally treat the animals as citizens. Surely, the owners can represent their animals in court. That way, we can take time to realize what the needs are in any particular case. And i get paid by the hour"
[effect]people hire expensive lawyers to defend their pets in court for public urination charges
[stats]political freedom increases, government gets bigger
2. "Its just a dumb @@RANDOMNAME@@. We cannot allow this to happen. Anybody with a @@ANIMAL@@ who performed an unprovoked attack on one of our citizens is bound to defend it unconditionally and beyond reason, a court case will just waste our time and money, and the @@ANIMAL@@ could kill again if released," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, representative from Public Institution for Social Safety, Equality, and Direction (PISSED)
[effect]@@ANIMAL@@s are executed if judged to be dangerous and prohibited from entering public areas in the name of public safety
[stats]social equality goes up, political freedom goes down, civil liberties go down, government gets bigger
3. "Who cares!? Just repeal any laws preventing you from shooting any @@ANIMAL@@ from attacking you and you will be able to save yourself without this stupid, overbearing government and legal system wasting our tax money!" screams @@RANDOMNAME@@ as he sends out his pirate radio station broadcast.
[effect]people frantically fight for their lives on a daily basis
[stats]economy goes up, civil liberties go up, government gets smaller, taxes go lower, political freedom goes a bit lower, Arms Manufacturing industry grows
4. "Why punish the poor things?" says animal lover @@RANDOMNAME@@, covered in scars from her previous encounters with pit @@ANIMAL@@s, "all they need is good hands to care and rehabilitate them. Imagine a government education program for them to tame them and turn them into loveable pets, here, look, im holding one right now just to show it can be done. They are all good, kind creatures deep dOOOOOW!"
[effect]animals judged to be dangerous are trained by professionals at taxpayer expense
[stats]government gets bigger, taxes go up, emphasis on environment increases
