| Message | ARTICLE 1 - Disagree - there are less zoos than people and therefore easier to regulate. There is no guarantee that those who keep endangered animals will not use them for profit. ARTICLE 2 - Disagree - the various regions of Telamon have different waste needs and different quantities of waste, to regulate it nationally will be a bureacratic nightmare. ARTICLE 3 - Disagree - Doesn't go far enough. Wild animals should be kept in zoos, not as pets. A full ban is necessary. I yield, Frank MacArthur Leader Telamon National Party |
