Brannigan's Law is one of the cornerstones of DOOP policy. Apparently named after Zapp Brannigan, for unknown reasons, it forbids interference with undeveloped planets.
Otherwise known as Directive B10.81, this law does not apply to DOOP mining operations. In general, it seems that this law forbids helping these planets, but allows their utter exploitation. The Planet Express crew, particulary Leela break the law by trying to save the animals of Vergon 6.

Trivia
- Brannigan's Law is most probably a comic reference to Star Trek's Prime Directive.
Quotes
Zapp Brannigan: Brannigan's Law is like Brannigan's love: hard and fast.
Zapp Brannigan: I don't pretend to understand Brannigan's Law. I merely enforce it.
Zapp Brannigan: April thirteenth…point two. We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However, I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars? [pause] Kif, I'm asking you a question!
