| Message | I suggest the Owl as it represents wisdom, understanding and learning. |

| Message | Can you make sausages out of Owl? I don't think so. Owls should be banned. It is our opinion that the national animal should be the sausage. Or maybe the pig. |

| Message | the sausage is not an animal and the pig (although i am fond of pigs) does not represent so many positive things. |

| Message | the sausage is the higher state of every animal. Whatever living things that you can't make sausage out of isn't animals, and shouldn't be considered as animals. The pig is the ideal animal to make sausages of, and therefor stands for everything that's good in the world. |

| Message | Hmm, i will consider the pig as long as it has wings. Flying pigs are much more interesting. |

| Message | Flying pigs is far better than owls, since they can become good sausages. |

| Message | Ok then. I will change this and bring it to a vote. |
| Date | 16:38:31, April 27, 2005 CET | From | Social Democrat Party | To | Debating the The National Animal |
| Message | I also just realised that the flying pig represents dreams and higher ambitions (or can do anyway). |
| Date | 16:44:05, April 27, 2005 CET | From | To | Debating the The National Animal |
| Message | I just have to state that all animals are rather to be considered pre-sausages. And that nations are absurd. But the International Sausage Party will vote in favour of this bill anyway. We hope that one day, all the world will have the pig, wether it is a flying, rolling or dead one, as their sacred animal. |

| Message | May the Gaduridos spread its golden wings! The glorious flying pig soars! |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
