| Message | *This bill is met with a chorus of boos and nays from the Pimm's benches, and some apparently private but rather loud laughter as it is discussed.* |
| Date | 21:59:34, July 05, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | * The Defenders are led in on a three line whip by the Grand Master of the Hunters' Lodge. |
| Date | 22:29:22, July 05, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is an important bill for environmental protection. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 04:50:16, July 07, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I would like to make another comment. The opposing parties seem to think that this bill is anti-hunters. This is not true. After all, nature would be much more restrictive to them once they hunt their prey out of extinction. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 11:30:07, July 07, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, No matter how hard we try, I don't believe it's possible to hunt a species "out of extinction". * Uproar of laughter and pointing at the Secularist representative. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 00:05:53, July 08, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Obviously, I meant into extinction. It's too bad that the BCD could not come up with a legitimate response to my arguments. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 01:14:29, July 08, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, As the secularist rightly said (evantually!): it is not in the interests of the Hunters' Lodge to hunt our prey to extinction. As such there is no need for government regulation, we will avoid over hunting ourselves, as it is in our own interest. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 12:40:58, July 08, 2007 CET | From | Luthori Christian Women's Association | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Hunters' Lodge has no legal powers to regulate the conduct of its members, nor does it have any legal powers to demand that any hunter must be a member of the Hunters' Lodge. Government regulation is essential. I yield the floor. Belinda Braithwaite (Leader of the LCWA) |
| Date | 16:30:16, July 08, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Unfortunately, human nature dictates that greed sometimes complicates the logic and morality of people. This is why laws are needed. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 22:45:53, July 08, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | * The Most Worshipful Brother Jonathan Edwards MID, Grand Master of the Hunters' Lodge, rises: Mr Speaker, The only laws recognised by this lodge are God's laws, as laid down in scripture. The hunts will continue, on private estates if that is necessary! I yield the floor, but not out right to hunt whatever we damn well want to! * Various chants of "Hear hear!" along with the waving of papers, and in some cases hunting rifles and carbines. |
| Date | 01:32:29, July 09, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Who let them in!? Security! Security! S-E-C-U-R-I-T-Y! By the way, so sorry to burst your bubble, but private property isn't excluded, and if you do break the law, you'll receive fines so heavy that it will make your head spin. *HEAR! HEAR!* |
| Date | 10:52:18, July 09, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Hunting Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, The MID suffix after the Most Worshipful Grand Master's name clearly shows that he is a Member of the Imperial Diet and has every right to speak here. To the meat of the matter: how do the Secularists propose to police this ban on private estates covering hundreds of acres? I yield the floor. |
