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

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




What kind of issue is this, the Lynks is an indangered spieces........

Your national animal is the Lynk, and since the issue is talking about your animal, well, it replaces @@ANIMAL@@ in the code with "Lynk." You must be new to NationStates... (If that's the case, then, welcome. :))

still the Lynk shouldn't be eaten at all, I could care less if this isn't real, the fact is in reality (and in my reality) there spieces is almost gone. So I will dissmiss this issue not only becuase it sounds horrible and unreal but just plain stupid.

In reality it's also spelled Lynx. So, technically, since there is no such animal as the Lynk, they aren't actually endangered.
