I hate appeals like this. Cholera is natural, so is nightshade. It used to be natural to be eaten alive by saber tooth tigers.

Yeah, the horse for transportation market ain’t exactly booming
Also, sunscreen is natural. Elephants and pigs apply mud to keep the sun off their skin: https://www.foundation.sdsu.edu/sunwisestampede/meetanimals.html

Yeah, that would be me.
