Cat Caught Smuggling Drugs in Costa Rica
Costa Rican authorities recently thwarted a unique drug smuggling attempt involving a cat. Prison guards discovered a black and white feline carrying 235.65 grams of marijuana and 67.76 grams of heroin, along with rolling papers. "It's unusual to see such a method," stated a spokesperson from the Costa Rican Ministry of Justice and Peace. After removing the contraband, officials transferred the cat to the National Animal Health Service for its safety and well-being. The incident underscores the creativity of drug smugglers, while also highlighting the unintended consequences for animals caught in the crossfire. The cat's story serves as a reminder of the impact of illegal drug trafficking and the need for continued vigilance by law enforcement.
