Customs Sting!

Did anyone else here on the radio today about the guy who got caught at Sydney airport smuggling catfish into the country? Can't help but admire his effort. Always wanted to do that with some zebra plecos, just don't have the money or the guts. :wink:

[Merrilyn]

Yes I did. Up to a $110,000 fine for bringing in 13 catfish.

Pretty darn stupid thing to do.

And in a box in his suitcase ........ sheesh :roll:

Did he think they wouldn't look ????

Such a shame they have to destroy the fish, why cant they go to a public aquarium??
