Support the Cause!

We are wrapping up our final night in Hawaii prior to our expedition to Christmas Island for the red lipped mountain lion search and destroy mission. We anticipate being on Christmas Island through New Years, but it is still unclear if we will be returning through Hawaii (see update below) or re-routing through another yet to be determined locale.

These are definitely exciting times! We are constantly receiving (from our valued supporters) and uncovering unconfirmed sightings and uncircumstandtial evidence at extraordinary destinations across the globe:

• Purple Spotted Hairless Platypus in Belize City, Belize
• Red Eyed Tree Slugs in Buenos Aires, Argentina
• Miniature Kodiak Green Bears in Kodiak, Alaska
• Atlantic Pink Dog Salmon in Stockholm, Sweden
• Polar Leopard Sea Cucumbers in Brisbane, Australia
• One Armed Silver Banded Lizards in Las Vegas, Nevada

In reality, there are too many migratory non-indigenous species to eradicate in one lifetime, but that's why we ask you to "Support the Cause!"

You're a smart cookie... you've likely already seen the "Support the Cause!" section. As a loyal (almost cult-like) follower, please do what you can to spread the word... DONATE NOW, Introduce-A-Friend, del.icio.us, or digg this.

Hawaii Update: Unfortunately, once again, we've found ourselves going down the wrong crossroads. Despite our early success on this trip, a purple spotted hairless platypus has yet (and likely won't be unless it sits on my lap while on the loo) to be captured, killed, and photographed. In addition, although the scuba diving excursion was breath taking, we did not encounter, spear to death, or photograph a three headed finless lionfish either.

It is also disappointing to report that our two new staff members have decided that they were better suited as waitresses in the Bahamas and will be catching a ferry to the mainland sometime this month.

On a positive side, we are now seeking to fill two positions. If you or anyone you know is interested in supporting a great cause for little or no pay, please visit our Careers section.

Careers... Get a Real Job!

Seriously? You want to work with us? That's outstanding, but we'd like to be honest from the beginning... the demand for a position with the Foundation of the Purple Spotted Hairless Platypus is ridiculous.

We want to be clear (so that there are no misconceptions) that you will be competing with candidates from across the world from the best universities. It's like Donald Trump's "Apprentice" except you once you win you don't get paid, sleep in tents, and eat roadkill (usually killed same day if that's any consequence).

If you are still interested in competing with the best of the best, please send your resume including specialties (i.e. trapper, plaster molder, spear shooter, photographer, massage therapists, etc.) and experience listing all non-indigenous species captured, killed and/or photographed. Pay history is irrelevant.

Ideally, we are looking for fit, so if you can carry heavy loads, survive with minimal sleep, run fast and close the deal with a pedicure, you should consider a career with the Foundation of the Purple Spotted Hairless Platypus.
