WOMEN CAUGHT SMUGGLING PORCUPINES AND ARMADILLOS

Two Indian women were busted in the Bangkok, Thailand airport allegedly trying to smuggle 109 live animals in their luggage. This wasn’t the usual birds and bugs – officials found 50 lizards, 20 snakes, two white porcupines, two armadillos and 35 turtles. The women were traveling to India. Both women were detained and charged with violating the country’s Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act. Officials did not say what the woman were planning to do with the critters upon arriving at their destination.
* But, it’s Asia, so we can only assume the delicious – er, uh, the worst.
* What I mean is, the women probably told authorities, “I thought we were allowed to bring snacks on the plane.”
* “But those are our emotional support armadillos!”
* At least they didn’t try to smuggle them up their butts.
