| Message | The human species is the most and absolute interest that we know. The role of any creature or item that is not human is to serve the human species in the best means possible with sustainable development. |

| Message | Really? Have you not realised that without us, everything is much, much more sustainable? |

| Message | Still, limiting felling to fire breaks would remove wood as a valuable natural resource for building and manufacturing, requiring our industries, and our people, to switch to far less sustainable materials, which would cause far more pollution in their fabrication and are therefore a far less eco-friendly. We currently have a provision in force that requires re-afforestation at higher than replacement level, and that seems to us a far more sensible way to enable sustainable development than pushing the people to pollute our nature even more, thereby destroying our forests and, ultimately, themselves. |

| Message | In response to the GPA, we do not agree with the idea that human extinction is somehow a good way to make Earth sustainable. Ultimately, we are the only species that is sentient, and we are a species that has interest in our own community and that owes nothing to any other species. As the only sentient species and as a species striving to win in the game of evolution, we have the right to exploit our resources to any extent that we see fit. The doctrine of sustainable development is there so that we can exploit continuously and preserve our species's prosperity. |
