Watch out for those black female ones.
If they legalize the sale of black scorpions, then it’ll keep the profits away from the Mexican black scorpion cartels and cut crime and increase tax revenue in this country. It’ll stop the black scorpion gangs from using our national forests to grow them.
Lessee...Pakistanis who want to study powerful poisons....hmmmm
Weird article. It eventually indicated the trade is illegal because they are endangered.
And eventually rather broadly says they are sold for research.
We learn very little from this article, but it is interesting to hear about.
I thought scorpions were fluorescent. You can find them pretty easily after dark with a blacklight. In fact, sometimes it can scare the dickens out of you once you realize how many of them are around.
I had thought that the large black scorpion was pretty docile and not very poisonous. The little red ones in the So. Cal. desert are really painful.
The article doesn’t really say why they are valuable, other than for “medical research”. Muzzies researching deadly poisons - nope, doesn’t raise any flags for me.....
