| Message | We at the Highazhell party believe only animals with a history of attacking humans should need to be registered. |
| Date | 21:23:39, March 29, 2011 CET | From | Eredian Party | To | Debating the Domestic Animal Regulation Act |
| Message | We at the Eredian Party respectfully disagree with the Highazhell Party's statement. Registering animals with the local government will ensure that animal cruelty and population control are effectively and efficiently enforced. |

| Message | The Eradian party brings up a good issue, we at the Highazhell party absolutely support the funding of animal rescue and shelter programs. At the same time we don't think the burden should only be put on animal owners, taxing them because they took the initiative and responsibility to house an animal might discourage adoptions. All of Rutania should be responsible for the health and well being of its furry friends |
