A passenger was detained at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel after attempting to smuggle 69 snakes of various species from Italy. After the animals were found, experts were called in to identify them. The Parks and Nature Authority stressed that smuggling wild animals is a serious violation of the law.
The offender was acting for selfish reasons, breaking numerous laws and posing a threat to public health. In addition to animal cruelty, such actions can lead to the introduction of diseases and parasites, as well as harm to wildlife. Experts warn of the possibility of invasive species, which cause significant harm to local ecology and agriculture.
The National Parks Authority, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Israel Police and Customs will step up efforts to prevent such violations and hold those responsible accountable in accordance with the law.
