I’m guessing these weren’t pets
Apparently the neighbors got fed up with the stink. Led to a residence by the strong odor, Chinese police arrested four people and seized 16 endangered pangolins. Another 37 dead pangolins were found in the fridge. Also in the fridge: a bear paw.
Pangolins, an endangered nocturnal anteater-like animal, are prized for their meat as a delicacy and scales for hangbags, shoes and Chinese medicinal purposes. The Chinese authorities have been cracking down on smuggling endangered animals – case in point, two pangolin smugglers were recently given death sentences.
Any guesses where the residence was located? Ready to be shocked? Guangdong.
