    How far are they looking to push that agenda? Would it become illegal to eradicate pests such as flies, rats, roaches, termites, and mosquitoes?.. Those are all classified as animals BTW.

    I don’t see that as being a good idea at all.

      Just read their webpage (emphasis added):

      IP28 prohibits any activity—other than self-defense and veterinary practices—that intentionally injures, kills, or sexually violates an animal, many of which are currently legal because they are exempt from our animal cruelty laws.

      It’s trivially easy to answer this question.
