| Message | As specified in the bill, this is self-regulation, not government regulation. Standards are set by the industry itself. |

| Message | Which I probably find even more disturbing...it gives the poachers some legitimacy by pretending their the gamekeepers. |

| Message | No regulation! This could be construed as a violation of freedom of the press. Companies already know that if they do the wrong kind of advertising it could get them in trouble... that is enough. |
