| Message | What is the definition of an exotic animal. Are zebras exotic, or are they just a striped horse? What about camels, monkeys, and parrots? This would make a lot of red tape, if the state has to decide what animals are exotic or not. Remember, we are not talking about endangered species here, private ownership of these animals are banned in Lourenne. Besides, we live in a rather exotic place. Some are bound to have exotic animals (and though it is law to register them with the local government, they may have decided not to, and this would become a big problem if this law is passed). Sen. Chasca-Coyllur |

| Message | It would not make much red tape, based on the fact that the government already has to regulate exotic animal trade, so they must be able to define one. Sen. Hannah C. Brown (D -AL) |

| Message | This would only promote the black market. |
