Raggar, head of the cabinet of prisons, was a tall man with broad shoulders and a dominating personality; he took a keen interest in zoophilia. "There is a problem," he said, "Although the prisons are not overly crowded, there is a high escape rate from prisons. It certainly would be no error on our part if these escaped inmates commited no crimes and it would certainly be an error if just one of them commited a crime. However, the masses of these criminals are often times brought back to prison and retried for their new crimes. We need to find a new prison environment that will hold these prison inmates in humane conditions. Do any of you have any ideas?"

Rectog was still a child of twelve, but as the current standing democracy stood, there was no prejudice against race, species, sexuality, or age. "I have an idea," the inquisitve Rectog spoke up, "How about moving the prisoners to an island and leaving them their unrestrained?"

Yarsisus was an old cow whose face had been wrinkled with age, and he was a medical researcher with his family whom he had close sexual relations with. "I disagree, Rectog," said Yarsisus, "How would they live? They would die quite easily with no food or shelter!"

Rogala was a directive iguana woman who was pre-designed with genetic technology to produce a child with a higher intelligence and she had humanitarian ideals. "We can enrich the soil with vitamins and nutrients so that crops spring forth," she said, "This would also solve the cost of the good, law-abiding and humane citizens from paying their taxes. Instead of buying food for inmates or building them housing, we can have a tax break or invest in research to cure diseases. It simply feels like an injustice to pay for the food of those who break our laws, but as a humanitarian society and with compassion as our guiding wisdom, we will absolutely pay for their food and housing if necessary. Research for diseases is a good venture. The cure for cancer has saved the lives of many and the cure of AIDS has also prevented many diseases while spurring on this wonderful machine of Free Love. And we do not necessarily have to have it on an island. We could have it in any isolated area where they could not escape."

Yabaf was a lesbian pedophile who was humane and welcoming. "Where will they get the tools to harvest this food, though?" inquired Yabaf.

Raggar spoke up, "Just as early primitive ancestors had, they will develop tools from common substances. Rock and wood, of course. Perhaps they will enter a Stone Age or a Metal Age of their own where they may mold the materials into usable items."

Yoodash was a short, pale skinned asexual hermaphrite dog who was slow witted albeit intelligent. "And what of medical care?" asked Yoodash, "Afterall, with medical technology today and all animalia finally existing on a healthy Vegan diet, we can live past 200 to 250 on average and with proper contraception, we can keep from overpopulating our place in space. What do you say to the inmates who we condemn to living 40 or 50 years of life? And what of the vast amounts of children that will be produced?"
