| Message | As long as the tests produce cures that save lives we do not care about the animals. |

| Message | It is our belief that any legitimate pharmaceutical or medical research corporation would be willing to apply for a license or at minimum adhere to regulations put in place by the state. Certain regulations, such as quarantine, should be put into place to prevent a much bigger threat to health. Imagine if the monkeys that were infected with Ebola Reston where not placed in quarantine after their initial arrival. See: http://www.stanford.edu/group/virus/filo/ebor.html We acknowledge that the Ebola Reston virus does not afflict humans, but we point to the fact that viruses do have the ability to evolve at a very dangerous rate. Ergo we believe the potential avoidance of a catastrophic biological disaster outweighs the minimal inconvenience of applying for a license and adhering to the aforementioned regulations. We hope others can see this too. |

| Message | This is a very important bill, which we support to the fullest. The life of animals is as important as our own. How would you feel if you were put through several tests and possibly even die afterwards, or suffer fatal or dire consequences physically and/or mentally? We know for a fact that we would not like that. Our interest lies with the well being of animals and humans a like. Now, to tell the thruth, we do not think this bill goes far enough, but at the very least it is a step in the right direction. Animals, how tiny or how weak they may be have a right to live a happy life aswell, and not some life full of torture or the like. If scientists wish to achieve positive results, then asking for a licence should not pose a problem at all if they are truly devout in their wish to aid mankind with cures, as the Rildanor Catholic Party said aswell. This bill is not asking for much, and for the benefit of the animals and humans a like, this bill should go through! |

| Message | Please do not tell me c..p about how animals are just as importnat as us. We couldn't care less if 1 000 000 animals died if that ment saving the life of one man. As far as test are concerned we will not tell to a chid in desperate need of a cure that we will die because we must protect the animals. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
