stop animal sacrifices, as must the other levels of government

respect, requested by the Hon. Richard Jones, Chinny Krishna,

Rahul Sehgal, Payal Sodhi, Suparna Saraswati, Dr. Sandeep Jain,

The resolutions were submitted by the delegates in writing to

chair Chris Hanselman, who read them each aloud and asked all in

favor to say aye. Afterward he gave the stack of written resolutions

to me to record.

 

I am told that there was one more resolution passed,

encouraging the release of bears from bile farms in China and

elsewhere. I have no doubt that it did pass, if raised from the

floor. Unfortunately, it was not among those I received.
