(Let me know if you think a marine mammal works better, though the ooze is going to be harder to pull off. ha get it cause... I'm sorry)
This one's always felt a little bit... idk, odd to me. Let me know if any of you feel that way about it, too.
Draft 1.01
Title: A Tangled Web We Weave
The Issue: The environmentally important @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ Blue-Striped Eel has been facing extinction due to being caught in fishing nets. Worried about the environmental impact losing this eel would be, in addition to the public backlash of letting a nationally revered creature pass away, you've agreed to attend a small shoreside meeting to discuss possible ways of reversing the effect.
Validity: Must have a fishing industry; Not Vegetarian
Option 1: Marine biologist @@RANDOMNAME@@ holds up a fishing net. "You see this here net? This thing alone is responsible for the accidental killing of many, many precious marine lifeforms. Probably thousands. And worse, the death of many beloved and environmentally crucial Blue-Striped Eels." @@HE@@ pulls out a dead eal, flinging liquid at you. "I'm sick of this fishy business! We need to ban these nets, even if it means less stinking seafood. Ban fishing nets! Save the eels!" The eel oozes out of @@HIS@@ hand.
[effect] tuna has a lot more holes in it
Option 2: While someone mops up the dead eel, a harty seaman gets up from his seat. "Look, we need the eels alive; it's important for fishermen everywhere as fish food. But you know what else is important? Fishing nets! That's why we use them. We'd have a massive deficit of profits on our hands! What you need to do is scoop up a bunch of these eels and breed them in captivity. As long as they're secure, you could even make a profit off of it by opening up aquariums for people to see them."

[Flag Change] If present, removes No Zoos
Option 3: The person who swept up the eel comes back with a small tank of larger, seemingly more ferocious eels. "Why are we limiting ourselves to our eels? The Savoiian Sleek Black Eels are excellent at adapting to all kinds of environments! They also fill a vaguely similar environmental niche. Release a few of these into our waters, and we'll have no need for our dying-out eels. I hear they do so well that Savoiia actually encourages eating these things, too, so we could sell these little suckers back to Savoiia if we wanted. I think."
