In a public address, Her Majesty Princess Celestia issued an official statement on the activist group Equestrians For Humans.

The group has gotten a lot of media attention with its campaign to return the Equestria Barrier to its original size and to put an immigration process in place that would allow some humans into Her Majesty's lands. While the group has not yet resorted to violent means and their influence among ponies is believed to be minimal, they are already confirmed to have sympathizers in the gryphon and zebra lands.

"Of course I want friendship between species," says Her Majesty. "But sadly, the humans are just too primitive and violent for that to be possible. A few good deeds here and there does not change the fact that they're a corrupt race. They would still harm you if I allowed them in, and I could never stand for that. I cast the barrier and commissioned the bureaus so that this wouldn't happen. Ponifying them is the only way we can live with them peacefully."

Her Majesty adds, "The EFH needs to realize that we're helping the humans by doing this, too. We can lift them up from their savagery. We can save them from a cold, soulless world, devoid of magic. We can give them life, true life, and free them from the pale, mechanical imitation they're trapped in now. They certainly have nothing good to lose by accepting."

Despite her convictions, Her Majesty has spoken against Ponification For Earth's Rebirth, a group of humans and newfoals whose mission is to ponify others whether they want it or not. She says, "I will not force it upon them, and nopony else should. We will always offer it, but we must never make them do anything. I can only hope that they will decide to become ponies. Trying to force them into it will only make them resent us further. It won't be easy, but we have to do everything we can to salvage them. We must make them worthy of our friendship."

Her Majesty points to the fact that the humans continue to amass weapons at our border as proof of their violent nature, but has assured us that her barrier will keep us safe.
