| Message | Since when were animals and pollution "the planet"? This will enhance our environment and boost the economy. |

| Message | Of course they are not "the planet" but if you let industries decrease pollution controls that will affect our citizens' health and will destroy even more the ozone layer. If you allow people to bring the animals that they want we could have an ecological disaster if some of that exotic or wild invasive species escape from their owner's house. It's better prevent than cure! |
