Summary
Thai customs officials arrested six Indian nationals at Bangkok airport for trying to smuggle 87 animals, including an endangered red panda, snakes, parrots, and monitor lizards. The animals were hidden in their checked luggage and they were all headed to Mumbai. This incident highlights Thailand’s role as a wildlife smuggling hub, with animals often destined for China and Vietnam, but increasingly India as well.
Omfg the face of that red panda in the thumbnail. I am MELTING!
NGL, I’d have a hard time NOT smuggling a red panda…
Fucking hell. They should try being smuggled in luggage so somewhere they don’t want to go.
People that do this need to be locked up for a whole life sentence of hard labour. No appeals. No parole. Literally throw away the key.
