endangered nauga

Recommended Posts

This is National Nauga Awareness Weekend.

During the 80s, the Nauga was almost hunted to extinction so that their pelts could be used for furniture coverings. Naugas have almost no natural predators, except man.

The practice still exists, but to a more limited extent due to the success of Nauga education programs.
If a friend is thinking of buying Nauga hide furniture, let them know.

Nauga are not endangered. They just have a hard time locating them because nauga hide.



We need to treat this issue with the respect it deserves.
:)


Yes. I think the issue also deserves to have a bunch supermodels going naked in order to demonstrate they oppose the nauga trade.

Nothing says 'respect' like naked supermodels.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Reminds me of the Lert. They'd nest in industrial areas mostly but now and then, one could be found at dzs and even military installations. There was once a "Be A Lert" campaign, to raise awareness and sympathy for the li'l critters.

The plural is naugi. I realize that screws up the alliteration of your pun, but like Bill said, this issue *should* be treated seriously.

Everybody gets all excited about making tuna "dolphin-safe". That's got to be disappointing if you are a tuna. Dolphins do cute tricks and make cute faces.

PETA uses their supermodel support for only the cute animals. Have you ever heard them support the unattractive ones ?

What about that Irish marsupial O'possum? Killed on roads every day, but there are no signs for them.
Bambi is cute, so we get "deer crossing" signs.

I always thought we should protect the lowly sparrow, they are extinct throughout 99% of their habitat, something about airplanes and skydivers scared them off - you know, that air space above the tree tops
Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

Naiugas aren't my cause. I throw my efforts behind saving the Belgian Velcro and the Ester (so small, it takes many of them to even make a pair of socks!)

and some of them smell like Bananas:)

What about the once prevalent North American Mar Iguanas?! They were on the verge of overpopulation, back in the '70s but their numbers have dwindled, almost to extinction. Amphibious, they were often found sunning themselves on beaches and were easily identified by their reddish, slit-like, glassy eyes and the whitish, cotton-like lining of their mouths. Their diet consisted mainly of donuts and sodas but could often be seen devouring ketchup sandwiches. Upon death, their bodies gradually reduce to ashes, with only a short stub of the tail remaining that resembles a small, armored insect and is often referred to as a "roach". Mostly silent, they can sometimes be heard emitting a call that resmbles a strong sucking sound, usually followed by a short period of coughing and hacking. Somewhat elusive, they could often be lured from hiding by the sound of loud rock music and the repeated flicking of a BIC lighter.

I personally lend my efforts to the repopulation of the SPAM herds. These extremely intelligent critters use to roam vast portions of the North American continent until uncontrolled canning devastated thier numbers.
