What I don't get is why go to all the hassle and expense of smuggling them when they could be bred locally? Surely the raising and breeding of leeches isn't complicated?
I personally hate the things - was bitten under my knee once and it was itchy for three years - but they’re valuable enough to smuggle. Or “import” in this case. $50k worth of product in this case.
A heartwarming piece about how a police dog did it's duty and found something unexpected. Cute, right?<p>Let's not forget that drug-sniffing dogs are trained to give positive indicators. They don't sniff for drugs, they just give cops probable cause to search your luggage if they want to.<p>This piece doesn't have the typical copaganda headline, but it's copaganda for sure. Just saying.
