| Date | 14:28:33, July 23, 2007 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Wild Animal Ownership and Public Security Act |
| Message | The necessary precautions for containing a wild animal are extreme, especially within a domestic environment. Wild animals are, at best, unpredictable and, at worst, highly dangerous. We also must make a point about the sanity of the animals themselves, the majority of such do not respond well to captivity, making them more dangerous and unpredictable. We are not talking about domesticated canines here, we are talking about wild animals and attempting to keep them in small scale captivity only causes harm to the animals and their unpredictability increases the risks to the safety of the owners and the public at large. |
