From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Natural Resources (Whaling) Amendment Act | Message | You oppose hunting. If you were to eat meat, that would make you somewhat of a hypocrite really. Unless you ate meat that came off an animal that is still alive, like you can do with fish, it's really quite an amazing thing. |

From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Natural Resources (Whaling) Amendment Act | Message | You realize Judicial Union Party that burgers do not come from hunted animals right? Neither do steaks nor bacon no sausage. A person with any form of intelligence knows this. |

From | Judicial Union Party | To | Debating the Natural Resources (Whaling) Amendment Act | Message | Presumably you've never had a wild boar terrine or alligator burger, both of which are hunted.
There is really no difference between killing wild animals and killing farmed animals. The animal is quite dead either way. |

Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
