Comment on Platypuses
Wait…. People farm the weirdos?
It’s heavily regulated now as someone sold one of the male drumsticks that still had the venomous spur attached at a Saturday farmers market.
Fortunately most of the venom was deactivated by frying it but they still had to be hospitalised for a week.
I wonder how they’d be for pets.
I realize I shouldn’t.
but. I kinda want one. They’re cute.
(again, I realize I shouldn’t!)
The human urge to domesticate anything that is slightly cute
Hell, we’ll even try to domesticate things that are anything but cute, like crocodiles, fish and spiders
Er…no… Not me…
