| Message | I haven't added the proposal yet because I'd like other parties to propose new animals. |
| Date | 08:46:21, August 29, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the National Animal Act |
| Message | We suggest the Raven. It is intelligent, hardy, and they usually pair for life. We believe these traits are symbolic of Gaduridos. |

| Message | The Dove is a symbol of peace and tranquility. These are traits that we want associated with Gaduridos. If it had to change then the GNP would suggest the dolphin, they are loyal, intelligent, friendly traits that we also want of Gaduridos. But the GNP would prefer to keep the Dove. |

| Message | I suggest we look at facts when determining our national animal. Dove is an alternative name for pigeons. The White Dove is a symbol of peace and tranquility. What we have now is a name that can refer to either this symbol, or the dirty birds you see around our cities. |

| Message | The GNP, when using the word Dove, was always refering to the White Dove. |
| Date | 06:04:25, September 02, 2005 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the National Animal Act |
| Message | We support the Raven, but would also like the Crocodile |
