He tries to embark on a plane with two turtles in the bra (and one dies suffocated): madness at Miami airport

If you thought you saw everything at the airport, rethink us. A passenger departing from Miami International Airport In fact, he tried to overcome the security checks with two Vive turtles slip into the bra. An idea that can make apparently smile, at least until it turns out that one of the two creatures.

The turtles were Wrapped in gauze and plastichidden under the clothes of the traveler in an attempt to evade controls. But it did not go as he hoped: the agents of the TSA (Transportation Security Administration), during the usual screening, have anomaly identified and proceeded to seizure. Unfortunately, as mentioned, one of the two turtles was found deadwhile the other was entrusted to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

TSA’s appeal: enough with these episodes

Faced with the umpteenth episode of animal traffic in the “do it yourself” version, the TSA has reacted with a note that makes it clear the frustration of the operators:

We pray – and we cannot underline it enough – to stop hiding animals in strange places of your body. We want you to start traveling with your pets, and with turtles you can! But safe: contact the airline to find out how to do it.

The message is not only addressed to the single person involved, but to all those who, for superficiality or selfishness, think that it is acceptable to transform animals into objects to be transported as luggage, without respecting their needs vital. After all, it is not the first case of the genre.

A few months ago, in fact, another passenger attempted the same “feat” with a turtle in the pants at Newark airport. Gestures that go far beyond extravagance: they are a clear example of cruelty and lack of awareness towards animal welfare.

The death of one of the two turtles, tight under layers of fabric and plastic, is the symbol ofInability of many to recognize animals as sentient beings. The act of voluntarily hiding an animal in conditions incompatible with its survival reveals a serious cultural and educational void. There is a need to promote greater education for responsibility for other living beings, of any kind they are.
