Well, here’s something you don’t see every day.

A passenger was detained at Logan Airport on Friday after Buddey the dog, who works for Customs and Border Protection, sniffed out some mummified monkey remains in a bag.  Eeeeek!

Custom + Border Protection reports the following:

During the screening of Delta flight 225 from Paris, CBP K9, Buddey alerted his handler to a specific piece of luggage. When questioned about the bag, the passenger declared that it only held dried fish. The luggage was x-rayed and appeared to hold dried fish. Still, upon physical inspection, the officer identified the dead and dehydrated bodies of four monkeys.

So why on earth would this person be smuggling in monkey remains, you ask? The CBP believes the man planned to sell the rit as food:

Raw or minimally processed meat from wild animals in some areas of the world, including Africa, is referred to as “bushmeat.” Bushmeat comes from a variety of wild animals, including bats, nonhuman primates (monkeys), cane rats (grasscutters), and duiker (antelope), and may pose a communicable disease risk. These types of meats are not allowed entry into the United States.

CBP immediately contacted the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the agency with regulatory authority over primate material. The CDC requested that the luggage containing the bushmeat be seized and that Delta Airlines either destroy or return the bags to France. The 4 kilograms of bushmeat was detained for CDC and marked for destruction.

Ewwww.
