Foreword
 
 Before I start, I need to first credit Tabatha_Cat (http://profile.aryion.com/profile/Tabatha_Cat) and Bill Holbrook's Kevin & Kell (http://www.kevinandkell.com/) for inspiring this effort. Bill Holbrook has reated an amazing world of anthros in modern society where vore is legal and a everyday part of life. The comic goes into great detail about how a society made of both predators and prey might work and the issues that could come up with mixed families and daily life, but it never quite goes into the that actual. It was in talking an playing with the talented Tabatha_Cat that she also shared a certain enthusiam and facination for such a society that really pushed me to attempt this. So it is here that I freely submit to the voriphile community for use and reference a proposed constitutional model for any ficticious vore-legal society outlining the basic rights of Predators and Prey. Feel free to make use and/or reference of this in your world/societal settings, character profiles, stories, or whatever with proper credit. (Mention of Title AND Author, or/and a link please.)

================================================================================================
Afterword
 
 I know this is not much of a Story so much as it isa very poor approximation of a grand legal document. Before you say anything, I do realize there is some rather odd Capitalization through out; it was something I saw in Older copies of The U.S. Constitution, how they framers would Capitalize those points and words they felt important to pay close attention to in there various definitions and applications in further Laws. I did attempt to emmulate that style. So I appologize if that caused any confusion. Again, this was less of a goal of entertainment in itself and something more of a drafting a framework for a world and society we predation was an accepted fact of life and how that would work in a society of Anthos with both Predators and Prey in close contact on a regular basis.
