Sicko puts Pigeons in Pants to smuggle

It more than surprised me when I heard about this absolutely bizarre news. According to a recent news article, a man carrying live pigeons down his pants was seized at the Melbourne Airport Customs.

This strange incident took place as the 23-year old man of Meadow Heights in suburban Melbourne had just landed at Melbourne Airport on Sunday. He had just arrived on a flight from Dubai. This bird smuggler was found carrying two live pigeons stuffed in his innerwear. Custom and border control officers stopped and searched him to find these birds 'in' him.

The officers also allegedly found a multi-vitamin container, a money belt containing plant seeds and undeclared specimens of eggplant in the passenger's baggage. He was handed over to Australian Quarantine and Inspection Services. He could now face upto 10 years in jail or a $110,000 fine.

What a sicko, I say. Only God and him knows why he would smuggle two pigeons, living, stuffed in his tights. If I may add, what a nightmare it would have been, I am sure, for those poor pigeons.
