Message | Our party has agreed that after reading this article it concluded that most ideas are things our party supports. However, we dont see use in making the killing of animals and the trading of endangered animals completely illegal. If these two sections will be changed to strict regulation, and the GCF eases its rhetoric, we shall support this bill. |
Date | 15:05:42, November 05, 2018 CET | From | Girīmi Komīnīsiti | To | Debating the Pure Environment Clause |
Message | We do not agree with the Social Democratic Cowardice that will endanger the Revolution of Green and Red. Animal lives should be protected from rampant capitalism, so absolute prohibition of animal killing is the only way. March onward Esinsundu! |
