Enderman Hunting Laws Under Dispute

[Eluvatar]

The fierce debate on enderman hunting in Taijitu Founder has been brought to your attention after vociferous supporters of both sides of the argument stormed your parliament.

1. "Enderman hunting is a cruel and horrible 'sport' for the wealthy," says Imogen Khan of the 'Protect Anything Cute and Furry Society'. "How can you possibly justify it? Oh, they witter on about 'tradition' and 'pest control' and other such nonsense, but really we all know it's because these sadists love to torture poor, innocent animals! Hunting must be banned!"

2. "Banning enderman hunting would be the end for centuries of tradition!" wails esteemed aristocrat Zeke Rikkard from atop his steed. "The thrill of the chase, the baying of the hounds, the enderman scooting through the undergrowth - it would be a travesty! We provide much needed stimulus to the local tourism, and you can't deny that endermans are pests - killing farmers' livestock for example! I propose that enderman hunting be encouraged, for the cultural - and economic - benefit of the nation!"

3. "Well, you know what I think?" asks Alexander Silk, while helping to assemble a small trebuchet. "I reckon that the real issue about this sport is the cruelty aspect, and no-one can deny that sending a pack of dogs to tear apart a poor, innocent enderman is cruel. I reckon we should just ban hunting with hounds and only allow kinder and more instantly lethal methods like guns, tranquillisers, and cruise missiles."

4. "I'm firmly against the slaughter of dumb animals," says Jean-Paul Cohen, while feeding an infant enderman with a milk bottle. "It would be best if the animals didn't die, and hunters could still do what they love to do - how about instead of shooting them or sending vicious canines after them, the hunter runs up to his quarry and gives it a symbolic 'tap' with his hand? Now isn't that much nicer for everyone?"
