Popular Post webfact Posted June 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2023 An Indian national was arrested at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi international airport on Tuesday morning for attempting to smuggle about 200kg of animal parts into Thailand. The man, whose name was withheld, arrived from India with six heavy items of luggage, arousing the suspicion of customs and livestock officials who asked to search the bags. They found cow hides, weighing about 60kg, and 140kg of pig’s canine teeth in the luggage.

I could see the possibility of smuggling 1 kilo, but it takes a special kind of stupid to try 200 kilos. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Given the number of pigs 'passing away' daily in Thailand there should be an abundance of porcine canine teeth available on the domestic market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the "pigs canines" are more likely boar tusks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
