B10m in elephant tusks seized at airport

Sixty-nine elephant tusks and four smaller pieces of ivory, worth 10 million baht and smuggled from Mozambique, have been seized at Suvarnabhumi airport.

The Customs Department said yesterday the tusks were found on Wednesday at the airport in two boxes bound for Laos, although officials believe the tusks were due to be reimported to Thailand. They were declared as personal goods.

‘‘They declared that the shipment was destined for Laos to fool customs authorities but the tusks were to be returned to Thailand over the border,’’ customs chief Prasong Poonthanes told local television news.

The ivory weighed 435 kilogrammes. 

No arrests have been made, another official said, as nobody had come forward to claim the shipment, which is illegal under international laws that ban the trafficking of endangered species and their products.

Wildlife experts say Thailand is a commonly used transit point for the illegal trafficking of animal parts and also a centre for the carving of ivory. AFP

Pink - Just Give Me A Reason Feat. Nate Ruess

 

 

Right from the start, you were a thief,
You stole my heart and
I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty.
And with every touch
You fixed them.
Now, you've been talking in your sleep
Oh oh, things you never say to ME
Oh oh, tell me that you've had enough
Of our Love, our Love.


Just give me a reason,
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn to LOVE again.
Oh, it's in the stars,
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're NOT broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again.

I'm sorry I don't understand where
All of these is coming from.
I thought that we were fine,
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear, WE still have everything
And it's all in your MIND.
(Yeah, but this is happenin')
You've been having real bad dreams
Oh oh, used to lie so close to me
Oh oh, there's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love , our love
Ooooh, our love, our love.

Just give me a reason,
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent we can learn to LOVE again.
Oh, I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're NOT broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again.


Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust,
But our love's enough.
You're holding it in,
You're pouring a drink
No, nothing is as bad as it seems.
We'll come clean!!
