Indonesian Police intercept dozens of smuggled parrots

Andrea from Eden Terrace

Indonesian Police intercepted an unusual cargo on Friday after a large container began emitting strange noises.
Police from the small town of Fakfak in the west Papua reported the discovery of 74 black-caped parrots, ten of which had died in transport, each stuffed into plastic drinking bottles.
10 of the parrots stuffed in plastic bottles died in the journey.
Do you support exotic animals being traded as pets to be confined with chains, in cages, etc? As upsetting as this article is, there has to be demand for supply.
