| Message | It is completely obvious that this proposed change has absolutely nothing to do with stray animals, unless those animals are going to register themselves. Nor does it have anything to do with the health or safety of domesticated animals. |

| Message | Why do you say that? What is your evidence? |

| Message | We misunderstood one part of the description in this bill. We confused animals that are lost from their owners and animals that animals that have no owner. This proposal would have no effect on the latter, since there is no owner to register the animal. However, we think the small benefit of being able to identify a few lost animals quicker is not worth the cost of a forced registration of all domesticated animals in the country. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
