Robert Moses caused the extinction of all the throgs in the Bronx after he discovered their necks were strong enough to be used as structural members in a suspension bridge. The Throgs Neck Bridge has been in operation for 60 years now.

THE BLOODY HISTORY OF NAUGAHYDE:Naugas give birth to multiple babies at a time, which is called a “bunch”. These baby Naugas are called naugets, and are typically gold in color. In the late 1700’s, a French explorer happened upon a nest of baby Naugas. In his excitement, he yelled “I found a bunch of gold naugets!” As fate would have it, a nearby prospector overheard his excited proclamation. However; the prospector misunderstood, and thought the explorer said “gold nuggets”. The prospector quickly hatched a scheme to kill the explorer, and lay claim to his gold. Upon carrying out the murder, the prospector discovered nothing but these small, useless animals. In a desperate attempt to redeem his evil plan, the prospector killed the animals, and used the hyde to re-upholster an aging and worn couch. Friends were so impressed, it quickly became a popular furniture choice. The prospector quickly began a lucrative business of slaughtering Naugas and making furniture. Thus, Naugahyde was born, along with the town of Naugatuck. These poor animals have been hunted to near extinction, rarely ever being seen in the wild. Their history is filled with bloodshed, and even today the senseless murder continues, only now it’s done on nauga “farms”. These poor, defenseless animals are being ruthlessly exploited and killed in the name of the almighty dollar. Let’s all join forces, and show these beautiful creatures how much we care!

I had to look up pleather. Now that I know what it is, I would imagine pleather coming from cows (or some equivalent) grown in tar pits.

Fierce wild herds of naugas once roamed the plains. Since Naugahyde is rarely seen anymore, I assume their numbers have dwindled due to overhunting.

Never heard if pleather until today. I wonder if some company makes Plinyl?

Reminds me of a protest sign from years back: “How many acrylics had to die to make that sweater?”

The circles are where the pleather fell off after a year or two.
