Gentlemen,We've talked in the past about adopting an animal as the official MOP mascot. We have courted a variety of fearsome beasts...but unfortunately none have quite measured up to the high standards set by the council.
I introduce to you all (although I'm sure you're already familiar with) - the Honey Badger. Perhaps the name doesn't immediately strike a chord of terror and pant-pissing, but don't let it's name fool you. This little bastard is hard as nails.
I would ask that we all consider the Honey Badger as a possible MOP mascot. Indeed we should all pray and meditate on the matter. It is a very important decision.
Here is a very short list of what makes the Honey Badger (also known as Ratel) a good candidate:
- Highly intelligent (have been known to use tools in order to hunt down prey)
- Thick skinned (tough enough to resist several machete blows)
- Broad shouldered
- Retaliates fiercely when attacked
- They take what they want
- They don't care
- They don't give a shit
- They have been known to chase young lions and take their food
- They have been known to dig up human corpses

Say no more, I vote the ratel in!
The honey badger possesses an anal pouch which, unusually among mustelids, is reversible, a trait shared with hyenas. The smell of the pouch is reportedly "suffocating", and may assist in calming bees when raiding beehives.[15]
Because of their strength and persistence, they are difficult to deter.
When mating, males emit loud grunting sounds
Honey badgers are intelligent animals
has few natural predators due to its thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities.

P.S. I lik eteh adoption suggestion. And to sweeten' teh deal our adoption fees are tax deductible!
The honey badger certainly sums up the traits we, as MOP, value in both men and animals. Further, there is actually a parchment written by Randall the narrator we can enrich ourselves with, as well as a Honey Badger App for Android and iPhone and plenty of merchandise to keep us entertained and committed to the cause. http://randallshoneybadger.com/
