| Message | And pets that potentially endanger the safety of other citizens? Pets that could potentially cause colossal environmental damage as invasive species if they should escape into the wild? |
| Date | 02:57:10, March 18, 2009 CET | From | Roccato Anarcho-Syndicalist Union | To | Debating the Pets Act |
| Message | The URR is making outrageous suggestions. The current laws about pet ownership are horribly overbearing; we simply aim to liberalize them. |
| Date | 15:58:55, March 18, 2009 CET | From | Modern Revolutionary Socialist Party | To | Debating the Pets Act |
| Message | This bill suggests people could have tigers, lions, bears etc. as pets, that cannot be safe. And the URR is exactly right in saying that some species would cause huge damage to the environment if they got into the wild, we see the current system as sensible and appropriate. |

| Message | By forcing animal lovers into the shadows, you only increase the chances of death and destruction, as the owners of illegal wild animals and illegal exotic animals will not have the support of the community to assist them. |
