As well as animal species living
00:38
in as near as possible to wild conditions in
New Albion, there are domesticated animals.
00:45
These animals - such as cattle, pigs,
chickens, and sheep - are farmed
00:49
for food and other products in New Albion.
00:54
While we strongly protect the wild
fauna we have brought from Earth
00:58
to New Albion, we acknowledge the special
case of animals bred to be farmed.
01:05
The reproductive interference (essentially
eugenics) necessary to produce domesticated
01:11
animals and the restrictions placed on their
freedom (akin to slavery) is directly
01:17
at odds with protection of animals and
conservation of their habitats.
01:23
With this in mind, it is not permitted to
import or otherwise acquire an animal other
01:29
than for farming or as part of a
project to conserve a wild animal species
01:35
from Earth in near-natural conditions.
01:39
There are no pets at New Albion.
