| Message | Surely, we will not allow this. |
| Date | 10:47:15, January 14, 2009 CET | From | Gerajan Peoples Party | To | Debating the Civil Rights Apocalypse |
| Message | For future reference, we could support articles 3 and 4. Article 1 is iffy, and we believe the current legislation is the safest ethically. We cannot support article 2 as animals cannot give consent, hence rendering bestiality rape. |
