Fox, pythons seized in a wildlife smuggling haul at Thai airport


Bangkok (AFP) – An Indian man has been arrested at Thailand’s main airport attempting to smuggle out a menagerie of live creatures including a white desert fox and a raccoon. Thailand is a major transit hub for wildlife smugglers — who often sell the animals to China and Vietnam, although recent months have seen an uptick in trafficking to India. Abilash Annaduri was found with 17 live creatures of six species, Thai wildlife officials said.
