Message	Wild animals are not kept for pets for precisely that reason... they are wild! Cats and dogs are kept because they have been domesticated. We believe that not regulating the ownership of wild animals will in fact lead to more deaths, and unwanted animals. If we have 100s of cats and dogs dying each day due to euthanasia in animal shelters, because they are unwanted and too abundant, what makes you think that the same will not happen to wild animals who will refuse to be controlled by a mere human. Do not think our intelligence makes us any better than any other animal in the world. As we have seen its only the humans that have terribly destroyed the world and environment. This is the stupidest bill to come up yet. Who is to say people will not be buying rare species to hunt down for their own fun. It's not like it has never happened before.

Message	We support OP. GR - centuries ago the domesticated animals were wild. Current law generates blackmarket trade of wild animals, which is much worse for those poor creatures, than the official way. You can't stop people being fascinated with wild animals by bringing to life such oppresive law (the current one).

Message	Correct. Centuries ago demostic animals were wild. But its also true to say that centuries ago IS centuries ago! Things have changed and progressed! The old law is hardly totalitarian and oppresive! I dont think theirs going to be people crying in the streets and protesting because they cant keep up with the latest 'Giraffe' craze, do you? Were off to the blackmarket to buy an flamethrower and a baby girl.

Message	I suggest finding some economical books instead. If your name for national intervetionism in a daily life is "progress", I feel sorry for You. You want to regulate people like a horde of dumb cattle. You want to regulate what is good for them to eat, buy, learn. And you think of yourself as their reliever.

Message	And you dont think of yourself as a reliever then? What exactly do you want? Oh, yes, I remember, businessmen. A nation of fat cats who walk around in suits, smoking cigars and getting a little kid to spit shine their shoes for a loaf of bread! Not to mention buy and sell our people like a 'horde of dumb cattle' for minimum wage. And were the bad party?

Message	We want a Nation, where you can wear what you want, you can smoke what you want, you can hire adults on the rules you want,only when the offer is accepted by the second side (the worker). There is no slavery here. You just spread this anti-globalistic brak talk. This is you, socialists, who are forcing people to do things (especially to pay massive taxes to sponsor your utopian ideas). Give me one example, where your Bill begins with "Goverment doesn't regulate in any way....".

Message	Immigration. Go have a look at our immigration proposal. We want massive taxes on the rich and no taxes for the worker. Hopefully an idea like that will make the capitalists cry their way out of Cobura.
