Viagra saving endangered species

Viagra is now saving endangered species. If you don't believe then read for yourself:

• Viagra May Be Saving Endangered Species After All (Science Daily)
• Conservation and Viagra : The kindest cut of all (The economist)

Of course, the report in question was funded by Pfizer Inc., no surprise there. These articles are quite different to those that appeared quite some time ago, where it was predicted that Viagra would not stem the tide of endangered specie slaughter.

• Despite Predictions, Viagra Hasn't Stemmed Trade in Threatened Wildlife (National Geographic)

The eminent study was conducted by the University of South Wales and the University of Alaska, notably two brothers: Bill von Hippel, a psychologist from the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia), and his brother, Dr Frank von Hippel, a biologist from the University of Alaska, Anchorage.

A previous report: Is Viagra a viable conservation tool?

So whom among your favorite species are getting a break? Apparently seals, sea lions, seahorses, pipefishes, deer, and geckos. Unfortunately for you cat and kitten lovers, sea turtles and tigers are still endangered because they are among the most commonly used for pain relief remedies, especially among the elderly population suffering from arthritis and gout in the largest Traditional Medecine markets such as China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Nevertheless these countries are rapidly adopting Viagra in lieu of their traditional remedies (I guess because it works better). Unfortunately there is no super drug as yet for arthritis.
