Issue

Logging in at command central for Miatopia I see todays issue is a delicate one ...........

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

The Debate
1) "The fact is, the platypus population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Pip Clinton. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have platypus kebabs, platypus pies, platypus-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."

2) "I agree that something needs to be done about platypus over-population," says random passer-by Calvin Mistletoe, "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."

3)"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Sue-Ann Hendrikson. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The platypuss were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The platypus is part of what makes Miatopia a great nation!"

Any suggestions ?

BTW, just to let you know the Civil Rights are rated as Excellent, Miatopia Economy is good and the Political Freedoms are Excellent


Update:
I went with option 3. :)

That's right the platypus is what makes Miatopia a great nation.

Though in the right circumstances even a platypus might like to be eaten. ;)
