When starting my nation (The Dictatorship of The Benevolent) I chose my national animal to be the human. I thought it was kinda funny for my country's description to say that "The Benevolent's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests". But now I am confronted with a serious moral dilemma. Please give me some advice.
I just recieved the issue that talks about eating your national animal, read below:
Humans on the Dinner Table?

The Issue
In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for The Benevolent's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that humans could be added to the menu.

The Debate
"The fact is, the human population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Melbourne Chicago. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have human kebabs, human pies, human-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 human over-population," says random passer-by Max Hendrikson, "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 Al Jong-Il. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The humans were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The human is part of what makes The Benevolent a great nation!"
[Accept]

Not a spoiler, really. It's one of the original issues Max wrote.

I say it's up to you. There is a cannibalism issue that comes up later.

Oh and... :arrow: Got Issues?

Obviously, if these humans are spending so much time "frolic freely in the nation's many lush forests" they are not benefitting society. Teach them a lesson and stick them on a spit. Your citizen's place is on the assembly line or in the military, not in some lush forest.

This question has come up before, many a time, with everything from humans to catpeople to n[egro]s to babies. Just choose what you think is best. If you want to see humans-on-a-stick, choose to eat 'em.

Shoot em, and shovel em into a ditch, I say.

kill them, killthem all................with pitchforks and spoons :twisted:

Just wait until you get the one with the hybrids...

Brings a whole different slant to the term "doggie-style", doesn't it? 8)
