SR 63 – Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Amendment) 2004 Would take some push could even appeal to some ego driven politico who wants the amendment named after them.that's a crumb that could be offered. Heck, you can still be arrested for vagrancy if you have less than $5 and no id on you )Īmemded to authorised handler use or some such wording, justifying the use, pushing the benefits, tying it into the current Companion Animal laws, etc. I think the government would be more inclined to re-visit the legislation on that basis, rather than a complete ditching of the legislation.ĭefinitely, it is easier to have a law "amended" than reversed or abolished.
