Today's issue before the government of The Eternal Kawaii:

Sanrio Kittens On the Dinner Table?

The Issue

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

The Debate


"The fact is, the sanrio kitten population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Lars Gutenberg. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have sanrio kitten kebabs, sanrio kitten pies, sanrio kitten-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 sanrio kitten over-population," says random passer-by Billy-Bob Jefferson, "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 Hope Frederickson. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The sanrio kittens were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The sanrio kitten is part of what makes The Eternal Kawaii a great nation!"

The Government Position

The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 3.

I'd have chose Option 1, but that's just me and Sanrio sounds quite appetizing. Of course if my Red Pandas came up in the same situation I would probably go with Option 3 as well.

I like option 2. Guns are the cause of and solution for all of life's problems. :mp5:

Option 3. Although my nation's enviroment is practically in the gutter I'd like to provide funding for it as much as possible without hurting the economy too much.

No animal species should be anialated to the point of extinction. There is nothing wrong with population control for wildlife. It was created for a reason. AS to eating them each nation should decide on what to do with the remains of the species. If sanrio is for butchering then the Shoshoni would purchase or trade their buffalo for sanrio.

We chose number three because the Sanrio kitten is a sacred animal in Our culture. You can rest assured that the leaders of Our Beef-Based Agriculture industry will be spending a long time in the Conclave of Wisdom's re-education camps for this suggestion.
