| Message | Mr Speaker, The Liberal Democratic Party supports all articles except Article 9 (killing animals). We thank our colleagues from the Green Party for wanting to protect the environment and our friends in the animal kingdom, which is an important step towards restoring the pastoral, small-scale, naturalistic zeitgeist of the Mikuni-Hulstrian nation. These are self-explanatory values in both Hosianism as well as Daenism and other indigenous Gao Showan religions. Nikurazu Jentozusuku MP from Kārasā |
