Well, perhaps GM buying up all the viagra, as mentioned yesterday, may have some good effects. It appears a study funded by Pfizer has concluded that Viagra sales leads to fewer deaths of endangered species. No, seriously!
Frank von Hippel said the findings support their earlier research that Western impotence drugs may be an unintended wildlife conservation aid. Seals, sea lions and walruses are the animals most likely to benefit because they are often poached for their genitalia, he said.
“We think that market has pretty much collapsed from the advent of Viagra and other Western treatments,” von Hippel said.
Other animals used for impotence cures include sea horses, geckos and deer, whose velvety antlers are used in traditional medicine.
I guess if you can’t get it up, you’re pretty desperate for any “cure” you can find. I wonder if PETA will start selling the drug next?
