Border guards from the Medica Passage Fake An effort to illegally transport a parrot of the species Arako. They belong to specimens protected by the Washington Convention (CITES).
A Ukrainian smuggled a uncommon animal across the border. Exotic parrot, which was on the border in Medica did not arrive in Poland, but was transported in a cage. The bird transported the alleged “war refugee” of Ukraine, which immediately attracted interest from customs. The animal was enclosed in a transporter designed to carry animals.
The parrot Żako is on the list of protected species, meaning that their transport across the border is prohibited. This obstacle aims to limit trade in specified animals – they are to live in their natural environment, free. Theoretically, its transport is possible, but it should be legalised after the environmental ministry has given its consent. The Ukrainian was amazed by Polish regulations, reasoning that he was entering the same chaotic country as the 1 he came from. Now he has legal consequences. The parrot will not return to him, and he will most likely find his fresh home in the Polish zoo.
The number of attempts to smuggle animals to Poland has been expanding for respective years. Only the first half of this year, during border crossing checks in Podkarpackie Voivodeship, officers detected transport of nearly 3.1 1000 prohibited animals and plants.
A fewer weeks ago, in packages from Malaysia and the USA, alternatively of declared t-shirts, there were cuttings of carnivorous pitchers and 96 seedlings of ground orchids. any plants have been saved and can now be admired in the Botanical Garden of the University of Warsaw. In turn, a rosace crocodile hat with crocodile teeth was found in Australia. From the U.S. came the rigged head of the missionary alligator.
