Traveler charged with animal trafficking; birds to return to Peru
Posted by Debo Hobo under: News .
Brazilian authorities detained a Portuguese man at Sao Paulo’s international airport with 200 birds in his bag, police said on Thursday.
Customs officials found 65 of 200 Canary birds dead, the Agriculture Ministry said in a statement. Police will charge the man, who arrived from Peru and resides in Brazil, with animal trafficking, a federal police officer at the airport said.
The remaining live birds will be sent back to Peru by plane, in more humane conditions.

It is amazing the lengths people will go to to make a buck.
Poor birds. I can’t imagine 200 birds in a bag. That is awful.
Now he’s just stupid, (and cruel of course.)
