    Almost as bad as that, is the raising of small defensless creatures
merely for the use of their skins.  Yes, of course, I'm talking about those
adorable little fellows, naugas.  Do YOU know how many naugas must be 
slaughtered to make one sofa???  And while we're on the subject, what about

C'mon, let's wake up and face the music!  This is as sensless as killing
whales for lamp oil !!!!
