| Message | I've been campaigning for animal rights since very early in my political career, but there are certain parties in this nation seemingly hell-bent on ensuring Terra's bountiful fauna receive as few rights as possible. As for the second article, I'm all for it, but SEVERAL parties in this nation seem hell-bent on putting as much pressure as possible on the poor local governments of Aloria. |

| Message | Tying an added responsibility for central government into this bill may have been overly optimistic, but we support the RPP's intent in creating rules concerning endangered species. |
| Date | 21:17:57, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Ecological Act -May 2452- |
| Message | There already are rules. The trade and ownership of is REGULATED. That means not every Bob, Joe, and Sally can have one. They have to meet REGULATIONS. Restricting ownership to zoos just keeps people who can create otherwise good homes from helping endangered species. |
