Our 2D Friends: New board created

Thanks!

Thanks to the administrators for creating this category -- I definitely have things to post here later, and it sounds like other forum members do too. Much appreciated :)
 
Re: Thanks!

Yes, thank you,
IMHO much serious Work can come from interaction with our 2D teachers (and they all teach us something one way or another).
On the other hand, it is also nice to have a space on the forum to share some light-hearted joy :lol: about these entities who we so intimately entwine our lives with--especially with the reading on the SOTT news being so heavy lately. :cry:

Suppose it were suggested that animals’ interests would be even better protected if we recognized a right of political participation to animals. One way to do that would be to have human representatives cast votes on behalf of animals with respect to different legislative proposals. Thus, monkeys, parrots, and other creatures in the Amazonian forests in Brazil would have a say in the adoption or rejection of laws impacting their environment. Pigs, cows, and chickens on animal farms would have a say on laws related to their life conditions. This proposal would elevate animals to the status of actual actors in the political process. Right now, animals are merely subjects of our legal protection, but they don’t get to directly influence their own welfare. Under the proposal just stated, animals would have more direct control over their lives.

Should animals have the right to vote?
