Man Cuts Open Dying Porcupine Looking For Treasure… But Finds Something Even More Valuable (VIDEO)

by Austin Petersen

Did you know that porcupines sometimes form a rare stone inside of them that is very valuable? It’s called a bezoar stone, and when Jared Buzzell saw a car hit and kill a porcupine on the road, he decided to try and cut it open to see if he could find one inside. But what he found instead inside some say is even more valuable.





The porcupine is the unofficial mascot animal for libertarians. The reason is because they are generally considered to be very gentle. How often do you ever hear about wild porcupine attacks? They never go looking for trouble, but you sure as hell don’t want to step on one. They’re sometimes used in place of the rattlesnake on the Gadsden flag. In fact, the eagle bearing an olive branch logo for The Libertarian Republic signifies a similar meaning. I come in peace… but don’t tread on me.

Don’t forget, The Libertarian Republic is giving away a replica of George Washington’s flintlock pistol.
