Save Endangered Animals -- Use Viagra!

A curious study on the use of Viagra in China (conducted by Pfizer, Viagra's manufacturer) has found an interesting benefit to the drug. No, not that benefit! The study found that the use of modern erectile dysfunction drugs in traditional cultures decreases in the use of endangered species for making impotence medicines. The body parts of seals, tigers and reindeer have all been used for this purpose.
