| Message | As a member of the "Parties Against Hunting Endangered Animals", we cannot or accept these atrocious demands. We are currently compliant for both the "Treaty for the Protection of Endangered Animals" and the "Treaty on the Keeping of Endangered Animals" and it would be for the good of Solentia and Terra if this remains as is.
