| Message | The Congress puts this forward for very straightforward reasons. Firstly, if cosmetic products may harm a human then such products should not be on the market. Secondly, if an animal has no way in communicating consent, or otherwise, then no tests should be forced upon them. Thirdly, any research done to animals should be restricted to observation only. Should a need every arise to go further than observation, permits and licenses should be obtained. |

| Message | In Re: to your first reason, this has been the law of the land for many years now, theres been no evidence that it has harmed anyone. Secondly, we believe that animals were put here to serve humans, we do not need the consent of them Third: We believe that science does not need a licenses for this, there is enough redtape for people to get around without us adding anymore |

| Message | The Congress wonders whether the members of your party employed double-think when they though of the name for your party. The collective purpose of non-humans are not subservience, where is the evidence to justify that? The correct attitude would be co-existence. Any other scientific research on other species going beyond mere observance needs to be checked and balanced. Human science inflicts enough abuse on animals as it is, this needs to be stopped. |

| Message | Blues: We wonder if you put the wrong color as your party, "green" seems more apporperate. Anyways, the fact that we believe there is a God and that he has a divine plan for this Earth when he created it all, he clearly gave us dominion over everything, we do so much that other spieces cannot do, we are clearly superior to them, we must abuse that power, I agree but I don't believe that cosmetics is an abuse of that. To National Fascisiti: LMAO |

| Message | Quite right to the National Fascisti. Enough said. If dolphins can't pay taxes, and furthermore cannot communicate consent, then we should be imposing ourselves on their society. And as for our Party colour, we are the Blue, though we may carry a green agenda. Note that the 'green' was spelt with a lower case 'g'. Testing cosmetics on animals is definitely an abuse on 'divine superiority', if that's your religious perspective. I'm sure God would be more satisfied with our actions on this earth if we respected what bounties and diversity he bestowed on us. |
