Why the Porcupine?

Try to harass a porcupine and you’ll find yourself on the wrong side of the quills. The ultimate Libertarian animal is a creature that won’t hurt anyone but is quite capable of defending itself. Do you agree this describes the porcupine?The initiation of force has no place in a civilized society. Wearing this shirt may spark conversations about “why the porcupine” and gives you a chance to talk about non-aggression!
