HANOI: Vietnamese airport officials discovered a cargo of 700 live snakes on

a Thai Airways flight from Indonesia but destroyed them after no-one claimed

them, officials said.

 

" The snakes were alive when they were found in the cargo, " a quarantine

officer at Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport said. " Seven hundred snakes

were later destroyed when no-one claimed ownership. "

 

The reptiles were found on December 19 in a container that arrived on flight
