- Ban cats from roaming outdoors (mandatory catios!)
- Limit the number of companion animals an individual can have at once
- Make it illegal to have just one guinea pig or rabbit
- Ban horse racing
- Ban rodeos
- Taxpayer funded spaying and neutering
Banning the horse racing industry would cost around $1.9 billion to the economy and put around 15,000 people out of work. So not bad for one of their smaller policies.

Dogs should be targeted.
The inherent cruelty and incestual interbreeding have created horrible mutants.
Most of which seem to produce nervous and neurotic animals that usually find reason enough to incessantly bark at a leaf blowing in the wind, passing pedestrians or any number of mundane distractions.
And despite their nitwit owners pampering and obsessing and carrying their little plastic bags like they contain gold nuggets...they still leave shit everywhere.
I wouldn't mind not needing to clean cat crap from my yard because owners too lazy to get a litter box. Like in that Jim Carrey movie, I should take a dump in my neighbors yard.
What's cruel about horse racing? Those horses live the life of Riley. There were some cruel practices yesteryear but those have been banned for aeons.
I remember when Sweden passed a law that forbad having single birds in cages. Fair enough for budgies which are very social critters but put two male canaries in a cage together and you are likely to have only one soon as they will fight and one is likely to die.
Taxpayer funded spaying and neutering of the Greens - that sounds wonderful - it would not hurt , honest!
Replying to anon9.29
Cost would be minimal - very few to do.
Ameni
But Anon 9 :29, since spaying is for females and neutering is for males, what on earth would we do with trans gender greens? That would be the latest crisis to consume the mainstream media.
Anon 9.29 again, I meant it would not hurt me .... sorry, had to clarify. As for above Anon 2.15 query, we could dub it as "spaytering" and make up a Maori word for that?
