The next indoor soccer or lacrosse team that tries to make a go of it here needs to name itself the Pittsburgh Pangolins.

one of the largest seizures on record in 2018, in Nigeria, of 14,000 metric tons of stockpiled scales -- representing millions of animals.

Good grief.

"pangolin is hunted and killed for its scales and meat in Africa and Southeast Asia. "

Hmmm. I see a real problem here: how can we make this the fault of white people and President Trump?

In Vietnam pangolin meat is considered high-end and hard to find and their scales are used in traditional medicine to treat allergies and impotence.

Those poor animals......................

Some Asians are so fixated on curing impotence and libido problems that they are willing to try dang near every plant and animal on earth and pay any price in hopes of getting a rise. Do they have the smallest and droopiest peckers in the world?
