We Want the US to be Just Like Home
Dutch customs finds 2,000 baboon noses in suitcase posted 9/3/2003
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Around 2,000 baboon noses were found in an abandoned suitcase at Amsterdam airport after they started to stink, officials said Wednesday.
The noses were en route from Lagos to the United States, apparently intended for an immigrant market.
Baboons are protected under international law. Their noses are used in traditional medicine in parts of Asia and Africa.
The local supermarket will just have to get cracking and import them for our multicult brethren. Only in Lagos, you say? Pity!
