DM me your card details and I’ll send you a couple of pints from my platypus farm.

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 realize I shouldn't.

but. I kinda want one. They're cute.

(again, I realize I shouldn't!)

Hell, we'll even try to domesticate things that are anything but cute, like crocodiles, fish and spiders

They're all cute to someone.
