Platform |
Animal Rights
The
Socialist
Party recognizes the
rights of animals to live free
from unnecessary pain and suffering, and the responsibility of people
to protect those rights.
- We support the
spaying and neutering of pets to prevent the massive
extermination resulting from overpopulation.
- We oppose
entertainment that causes pain to animals.
- We call for the
banning of the fur trade.
- We support greater
inclusion and enforcement of the Endangered
Species Act.
- We call for a ban on
animal experimentation for product development,
and for an oversight board to examine and limit the use of animals in
scientific and medical research.
- We oppose factory
farming practices of overcrowding, drugging, and
otherwise cruelly treating animals.
