Species Bill of 2005

[MasterJedi]

I'd like to introduce these two amendments.

d. If any endangered or threatened species is proved to have been knowingly killed in a court of law said offender shall be fined 500,000 on the first offense, 1 million and 5 years in prison for the second offense and 2 million and 30 years in prison for the third offense. If the offender commits a fourth offense life in prison shall be enforced.

d. Any private company or individual found in a court of law to have knowingly brought in an invasive species shall be fined 2 million dollars and serve 30 years in prison for the first offense. If a second offense occurs the offender fine shall double to 4 million and spend life in prison.

I changed the grammatical errors and then added "proved in a court of law" if you don't feel that deserves a vote just add it but if it does we'll vote.

I also talked to Gabu about the fines and he said he might try to change some things. I told him if they were good I might vote for them. But I put life in prison because, well if you do it four times you're probably not going to stop. For the invasive species one it was the second offense because they can really destroy the environment and hurt people. Fire ants, killer bees and this species of termite in New Orleons that's destroying all the old wooden buildings. (I can't remembe where they're from but they build huge nests and they travel out underground in tunnels from building to building.

First I'd like to say that I support True Ind. amendments.

Second is to Colin, there is no one complete invasive species list. Most of the plants that are brought into the US now aren't invasive. Scandinavian and Australian pines aren't invasive. They wouldn't take over an entire forest like say that mustard plant would. No invasive species are really used for landscaping in most common areas. If you still don't agree how would you think it should be worded to fit your ideas?

And third would be to Emsworth. Right now anybody can really get certain types of endangered species (Tigers, Lions etc) with a liscence. Now it would be harder for normal people to get them and they would be tracked. The government would know where these animals and plants are incase there's some kind of emergency or disaster.

What is the advantage of replacing/augmenting the Endangered Species Act?

Being able to track the endangered/threatened species (last part)

I'll try to modify the invasive species part, I should be able to do that by tomorrow but it will probably take longer.

[MasterJedi]

Aye


Parents dragged me along to go hiking....again -_-  So that means it will be longer before I can make the change I wanted to. Sorry about that.

[MasterJedi]

My amendment should be done by tonight so stay tuned.

[MasterJedi]

Since I haven't had too much time to write the amendment I thought I'd just submit this.

2. e. The government of Atlasia shall remake the list of invasive plants to take into account plants that are already used in landscaping and other common uses based on the plants level of invasiveness.

[MasterJedi]

Aye
