2008-2009 Platform: Animal Rights
-1. 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.

2. We support the spaying and neutering of pets to prevent the massive extermination resulting from overpopulation.

3. We oppose entertainment that causes pain to animals.

4. We call for the banning of the fur trade.

5. We support greater inclusion and enforcement of the Endangered Species Act.

6. 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.

7. We oppose factory farming practices of overcrowding, drugging, and otherwise cruelly treating animals.
