MessageAnimals are not people, they do not have the rights of people. People on the other hand do have rights, and deserve the ability to take care of a living creature without government intervention.

From Takanashi Clan
ToDebating the Animal Ownership and Trade Act
MessageWhile we are in agreement concerning the rights of citizens to own animals as companions, as well as the differences between human and non-human animals, we are concerned that not all animals can be domesticated easily without professional knowledge. The potential threats to both owners, animals, and surrounding life around are especially profound when exotic animals are concerned, for their habits and training methods are often not known well. As such, we believe that the safety of the people outweighs the freedom of an individual, and thus the authority should intervene to ensure no tragedies would happen.
