Customs officers found nearly 1,000 endangered seahorses being smuggled through an airport to be used as ‘natural viagra’ by bogus healers.
The dried seahorses had been stashed in a freight package going through Germany’s Dresden and Leipzig Airport when they were found by a sniffer dog.
The 5-kilogram (11-lb) package was reportedly in transit from Senegal, West Africa, to Laos in south-east Asia, when it was found on Thursday, June 16, with the customs office releasing a statement on Monday, June 20.
