Drugged Tiger found in luggage

I just spent two hours writing a blog entry about how Facebook was evil and how the internet used to be in the good old days. But then my Tiny Top flipped out, Chrome froze. I didn't save it at one single point while I was writing it. It is all lost. LOST. It had animated gifs of burning barrels and everything. Goddamnit.

So I won't be talking about how evil Facebook is right now, I don't have the energy to get all riled up again over it.

Instead I will talk to you about this tiger:

This tiger was found sedated and stuffed into some luggage with not alive stuffed toy animals. It was detected when the Bangkok Airport's scanners detected a heartbeat. I did not realize we scanned luggage for life signs, that is interesting.

Chris Shepard, who is head of some anti wildlife smugging organization named Traffic, said "If people are trying to smuggle live tigers in their check-in luggage, they obviously think wildlife smuggling is easy to get away with and do not fear reprimand. Only sustained pressure . . . can change that."

Right. If people think we don't have X-rays, I mean, come on, why the hell wouldn't we have any X-rays, it's 2010. We should just keep on X-raying. 

The woman checking in the enormous bag denied any knowledge about the tiger.
