Mickey and Donald have been staunch campaigners against digitism. They allege defamation and discrimination against the quadradactyl community by the pentadactyl majority. .

Being a pentadactyl I sometimes find the urge to use my digits as a vulgur form of sign language when driving down the road and all of the sudden having some idiot decide he can push me into the ditch.

I am a particularly dextrous pentadactyl, as I can pick things up off the floors using my toes.
