>
> NINE persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression;

> EIGHT economically disadvantaged but still virginal Gyno-Americans
> stealing milk products from enslaved Bovine-Americans;
>
> SEVEN endangered swans swimming on federally protected wetlands;

> SIX enslaved fowl-Americans producing stolen nonhuman animal products;
