Men moving 81 macaques, meth arrested in Thailand


BANGKOK: Thai rangers have arrested two men suspected of being part of an international wildlife smuggling network, the military said Saturday (Nov 15) after they were intercepted in a car carrying 81 macaques near the Cambodian border.

Thailand is a major transit hub for wildlife smugglers, who often sell highly-prized endangered creatures on the lucrative black market in China, Taiwan and South-East Asia.
