Recently, before the Syskeyian Parliament:
Government Acts
The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Syskeyia's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that genius inventor mouses could be added to the menu.

The Debate
"The fact is, the genius inventor mouse population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Sue-Ann Utopia. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have genius inventor mouse kebabs, genius inventor mouse pies, genius inventor mouse-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."

"I agree that something needs to be done about genius inventor mouse over-population," says random passer-by Buy Hamilton, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."

"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Clint Thiesen. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The genius inventor mouses were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The genius inventor mouse is part of what makes Syskeyia a great nation!"

The government is preparing to dismiss this issue.

Good thing the government dismissed the issue. Would you want to eat some this?

You are addressing the wrong people if you want a negative as an answer. We eat anything! Mouse or otherwise.

Hah, I had this issue, but it was much funnier... I posted a thread on it, but it's WAY back on page 30-ish now.

Anyway, mine was funnier, for my national animal is the Escaping refugee:


In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Your Nicknames Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that Escaping Refugees could be added to the menu.
The Debate
"The fact is, the Escaping Refugee population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson George W. O'Bannon. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Escaping Refugee kebabs, Escaping Refugee pies, Escaping Refugees-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
[Accept]

"I agree that something needs to be done about Escaping Refugee over-population," says random passer-by George W. Licorish, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
[Accept]

"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Miranda Broadside. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The Escaping Refugees were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The Escaping Refugee is part of what makes Your Nickname a great nation!"
[Accept]

Indeed, the Escaping Refugee truely is what makes Your Nickname is GREAT Nation!
