Happened at the airport .. The rays reveal an “amazing surprise” with the bags of two women

Thai authorities arrested two Indian women at Bangkok airport, when they seized 109 live animals, including rare animals, in their bags.

Nithya Raja, 38, and Zakia Salthana, 24, were on their way from Bangkok to Chennai in India, but X-ray machines revealed their case before they boarded the plane.

The officers discovered 50 chameleons, 35 tortoises, 20 snakes, two armadillos and two white porcupines (a large rodent with thorns covering its body), crammed into two bags of the two women.

Two dead iguanas were also found, while all the reptiles were dehydrated.
Thailand is a major transit hub for wild animal smugglers, who often head to Vietnam or China where they are used for commercial or industrial purposes.

Thailand’s Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation said the animals were receiving treatment and would be taken to a veterinary center or breeding facility.

“This kind of smuggling attempt has happened several times. Animals are very expensive in India,” said Sathon Congwen, head of the airport’s wildlife inspection office.

The official estimated the value of these animals at around 200,000 baht (about $5,600).

The two women were accused of violating 3 laws, namely the Wildlife Protection and Conservation Law, the Animal Epidemiology Law, and the Customs Law.
