| Message | Pesticides should not be used! they leak into streams etc. and will harm wildlife more than you think you are protecting them. And you cannot make killing animals illegal!! We need to eat meat you know! |

| Message | Or Ireland... But to be serious, the article proposed for pesticides is a lot better than the previous one. We shall regulate the usage of pesticides per capita (by that I mean farmers/companies, not every single person) annually, having the exact record of pesticides used. Article 2 mentions the animals "on the loose" as well as domisticated pets. The meat will come from authorised butchers as well as farms. Also, as mentioned above we can import meat at any sign of the deficit, from reliable countries. |

| Message | OOC: As an advisory note, references to the 'real world' should be kept to OOC (out-of-character) posts, as clearly Likaton parties wouldn't be aware of such things. |
