Animal Welfare or Veiled Racism?

[Lion]

I do see your point! But, as I see it, one thing does not exclude another.

Theoretically, you're correct. But my problem with the proponents of this ban is that it does nothing to do for the rights of the animals in day to day activities. Personally, it just seems like a law to deflect from whatever current issues are really important (Economy, crime, foreign policy, etc). Of course, I'm not a Dutch citizen, so I stand to be corrected in my assessment.
