| Date | 07:14:30, December 12, 2017 CET | From | Telamon Social Democrats | To | Debating the The Conservative Party approach to environment and Certain Human Rights |
| Message | The Telamon Social Democrats vehemently oppose this bill. Hunting laws and regulations are crucial in maintaining a sustainable ecosystem. The environment of our country is a matter of national importance, and the consequences of mismanagement or no management at all is far too great a risk to relegate these matters to local authority. We especially disagree with Article 9. The government of Telamonia's first and foremost priority is to the Telamonian people. Polluting the country of the people we are meant to serve in the name of unfettered industrial deregulation is callous and utterly neglectful to the well being of the people of this nation. We stand against this bill. |
