Indian jailed for smuggling tortoises : HindustanTimes.com

Singapore has jailed -- for eight weeks -- an Indian national who attempted to smuggle endangered star tortoises into the the country. (City? City-state? What's the proper term for Singapore?) These are apparently very small tortoises, since he got 1,092 of them into four suitcases. He also has to pay to feed and care for them and to ship them back to India.

Yay, Singapore! (Yay, my reader or readers in Singapore! I see you!) Unfortunately, he won't be caned.
