Just last week, two Indian women were arrested at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport for smuggling wildlife, and customs officers found 109 live animals in their luggage!
Why do people always think that smuggling at the airport will not be discovered? Do you really not know anything about security checkers?
The two Indian women, Nithya Raja, 38, and Zaki Sulthan A Ebrahim, 24, are 24. They were preparing to take a Thai Airways flight to India's Chennai International Airport, and after X-raying the two men's luggage, they found that the contents of the suitcase were very suspicious, so they further opened the box and found a large number of wild animals in the trunk, including two white porcupines, two armadillos, 35 sea turtles, 50 lizards and 20 snakes.
Finally, of course, they were detained on charges of violating Thailand's Wildlife Protection Law of 2019, the Animal Disease Law of 2015 and the Customs Law of 2017, and the two women were handed over to the Suvarnabhumi Airport Police Department before further legal action was taken.
Wildlife smuggling at airports has always been a big problem in Thailand, and it's often smuggled to India. In 2019, customs officers found a one-month-old leopard cub in the luggage of a man flying to India in Bangkok!
In recent years, the illegal hunting and smuggling of wild animals in Southeast Asia has become increasingly serious in India, mainly due to the increasing demand for the black market for wildlife organ trade in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries, for which India has also carried out special remedial operations, which have installed more than 42,000 illegally traded wildlife organs into a burning furnace and burned them, but still have not stopped the illegal wildlife and their derivatives in the territory.
A report released last March also showed that more than 70,000 native and exotic wildlife, including body parts and derivatives, were found in 140 seizures at 18 airports in India over a decade from 2011 to 2020.
