Message | Why not go one step further and sell every square foot of land for waste disposal and nuclear testing? Do you hate the citizens or something? |

Message | Um, no, and "citizens" seem to love us AND our decisions? And do you really think we could destroy our seas? I advice you to study our world map more carefully and then think again. I doubt the fish understand border... |

Message | Most breeds of fish live in fairly localised areas, or use the same breeding grounds year after year. If you kill all the fish of a particular species that live in a particular area (or so many fish that they cannot support the population) then there will be no more fish of that species in that area. The end. This has colossal effects on the rest of the food chain; if these fish aren't around, then the population of whatever they happen to eat (be it plant or creature) will spiral out of control - whatever that creature eats will die out entirely. Goodbye eco-system... Worse still, if you poison the waters around Darnussia, then NO fish will be able to live there, wherever they come from, and any fish caught there will likely be unfit for human consumption. Thank god there's some clear thinking parties left in the country... |
