A few days ago, there was a picture in the news paper* that spoke badly of the people who involved in this shenanigan for a few bucks. According to the notes below the picture, someone got caught at the airport for smuggling 22 endangered white cockatoos from Indonesia. The smuggler stuffed the live contra bands in plastic water bottles.
I do not know if these beautiful birds had survived the ordeal. But it is hard to fathom why someone would conceive such heinous and inhumane means to transport these beautiful birds. It looks like the smuggler of these exotic beings failed to see there are already thousands of tropical birds for sale in the pet shops around us. So there is really no need to bring in more wild birds to glut the market.
At any rate, I am so pleased to see the culprit got caught for committing such cruelty on animals. I certainly hope the penalty in this case will be severe enough to deter others to harm innocent wild life. - Ayee
