| Date | 22:12:50, October 14, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party of Tukarali | To | Debating the Natural Resources (Whaling) Amendment Act |
| Message | Because there is less of them and "We kill all other animals, why not whales too?" is way too simplistic a view, why kill an endangered animal just for the sake of killing it. |

| Message | Whales species aren't all endangered. Those that are endangered are protected by the legislation preventing killing endangered animals. For the remainder, we can set a quota that ensure a sustainable catch. |
