| Message | This legislation has the potential to infringe on civil liberties. Suppose a local government chooses to ban hunting and fishing outright? Plus, if any local government wants to maintain national parks, they'll have to rake in higher council taxes (or whatever the equivalent is), and any level of government taking money from people is bad. Especially when it's not even going back into the human population in any real way - taxing people in order to keep trees alive/wilderness pristine shows grossly jumbled priorities. Trees before people? Never! |
