| Message | So at least three parties don’t think global warming is an global emergency, keeping endangered animals as pets is not ok and using cosmetics on animals is not ok as well. Can some party’s explain there points and views on why they don’t agree with this policy. OOC: the Labour Party all of these proposals are about animals |
| Date | 01:10:22, May 18, 2020 CET | From | Likatonia First | To | Debating the Animal protection Act |
| Message | 1) Cosetics is an important industry and they should be allowed to test on animals if it would not harm the animals. 2) Agree. 3) Landowners would have worked hard to growth their farm and should not be punished. Also small farms are ineffient and what reduce yields produced. 4) We have to think of the economy too and should not limit or growth as a smaller country by having to follow climate change laws. |

| Message | Also instead of allowing anyone keeping endangered animals as pets let’s try to make them un endangered in the wild and not risking it by keeping them as pets. If one animal goes extinct then it will have a knock on affect and effect all of us in many different ways. |

Yes it’s cold in winter and hot in summer but surly you see that over the last 100 years the amount of co2 levels has increased and at the same time the average world temperature has risen to.

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
