Councilor's Name: Councilor Oldkirk

Bill to Propose: Remove all animal products from the compound
Additional Notes: Animals are not ours to eat or wear, yet our cafeteria and councilor penthouse serve meat dishes with alarming regularity. Not only that, but there are coats made of fur and animal skin in the marketplace! Therefore, I propose we ban all products used on the compound that are derived from animals. We must never kill or exploit animals for any reason whatsoever -- to do so is a sin against nature.

Don't be daft. The argument isn't about living things, or we'd be down to bacteria and microbes. It's about pain and suffering, silly girl.

Fortunately, I don't care about pain and suffering ~

I know, but for all we know plants might feel pain, too?

[slapwithpanache.livejournal.com]

Ohohoho! Well, I'm not a scientist, but I doubt it unless they're Bub-ulbs. I imagine anything that doesn't scream is fair game.

There's also the plant variety pokemon...

... I wonder how he'd feel about those.

[highondaylight.livejournal.com]

Grass type, you mean. Not that I can figure why they call every sentient fauna a Grass type, but...

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Close enough.

...

... do you happen to have Pokemon Black or White? Or neither?

[highondaylight.livejournal.com]

Black, naturally.

It's rather odd, realizing that one's existing knowledge does not apply until the post-game.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I have White. I don't suppose you need to trade some pokemon?

[highondaylight.livejournal.com]

Potentially.

However, we are digressing massively.

...

I don't think there's much else to say about this bill. It seems pretty well doomed.

You kids and your games. In my day, we collected bugs and we were happy with them.
