| Message | The tradition of whaling among the Lusitânian minority is part of their endangered culture, and the Loyalists have sworn to protect their cultural rights in the Commonwealth. As such, we oppose this proposal. |

| Message | We support the Lusitanians in their efforts to preserve their culture, but whale hunting must not be a part of the future - either for Lusitania, Darnussia or Terra generally. This is a practice we need to put behind us if we are to ensure the long-term welfare and survival of whales. OOC: nice article! |
