| Message | Every one of these articles creates an increase in government control. If you create a profit incentive to produce more endangered animals (like being able to hunt them) then greedy capitalists will make an effort to preserve those species. |

| Message | While we oppose the bill, we'd like to express displeasure at the MLF's initial argument. This brings us closer to totalitarianism like climbing a hill brings one closer to Luna. |
