Description[?]:
Let's cut the animal red tape guys - here are some compelling arguments as to why: "Just recently, I got mauled by an endangered bear," explains avid hunter Gregory Beastmolester IV at an annual hunting meet. "If the bear had not been endangered and protected, I would not have these prosthetic legs or eyepatch." "Ahoy thar, me hearties" intones veteran whaler Cap'n Horatio Whalebeard. "Twas a stormy night an' the sea were plenty rough. Me an' my scurvy crew sailed into a fishing-regulated area, yarr. Our trusty galleon were marauded by a giant squid, aye, and he ate many a fine sailor o' mine, but I weren't allowed to harpoon him, Naharr." "I'm Professor Hans Huebner of the Beautycorp Inc. make-up company's research lab," explains Professor Hans Huebner of the Beautycorp Inc. make-up company's research lab. "Just recently we released the new Max-Extreme Eyeline-Power Colour-Boost eyeliner, but since it was not tested on animals first thanks to excess regulation, we were unaware of its 100% instant-fatality causing properties. Now I am in prison and my family is dead because they used the eyeliner." "Mrraaaah" says an incarcerated lemur. All it wants to do is be traded freely on the exotic animal market so it can find a loving home. Look at its cute little eyes. Doesn't the lemur deserve freedom? |
