    A first-class passenger has been arrested at Thailand's international airport after being found carrying suitcases filled with baby leopards, panthers, a bear and monkeys. The animals had been drugged and were headed for Dubai.

    Sadly, this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened. I can remember hearing a shocking story a while back about a woman who smuggled a skunk through in her pants...

    Ignoring the last sentence, these animal smugglers are sick bastards. As are the ****s who buy them and add to the misery.

    Sadly, if they did make it to Dubai the cruelty wouldn't end there.

    There's no answer to the animal smuggling problem. Banning rare species exports just makes them more valuable, farming them would be the only solution but that's ****ed too.
