| Message | "Mr. Speaker, Typical leftist doom-saying. There is no "collapse of the ecosystem" on its way, nor is there any evidence of any kind of ecological crisis... If the progressives had actually won a region-wide election, they would be able to set local policy on this. Let me explain why it should be legal. If an animal cannot be legally hunted, there is no incentive to keep them alive. However, if they are hunted, there is an incentive to create more of them via breeding. It is both good for the economy and good for the animal. The market can solve this issue, not the heavy hand of government!" - Henrik Oberling Statsminister of Telamon |

| Message | It's funny that in order to make a point they made a "low blow" to the integrity of the entire party. |

| Message | You're telling me that if a species was hunted to extinction that it wouldn't lead to a collapse of the ecosystem? If a spices died out; the natural predator of that spices would than start to dwindle in numbers and may even go extinct. Then the natural predator of that species would start to dwindle in numbers and may even go extinct, and so on and so on. Also the natural prey of the spices would explode in numbers, since they were no longer being preyed upon. Then the prey of that species would start to dwindle or go extinct since their predators numbers had increased and it would go so on and so on. So you're telling me that that is not a collapse of the ecosystem? |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker, There will always be poaching. This we know. However, if we legalize this, it means we can regulate and control hunting at the local levels. Or, you could ban it entirely at the local level. This is not an issue for federal intrusion." - Henrik Oberling Statsminister of Telamon |

| Message | Mr, Speaker The liberals do support this bill but we think that this bill is at the wrong level of government and we think that the states should be allowed to regulated it themselves. Should it be that one or more states don't take their responsibility and let species be get extinct when is an other matter... -Eleanor Bell, Liberal spokesperson for Environment and Tourism. |
