As technology advances and regulations increase, the underworld of smuggling drugs continues to evolve. These people just always find a way to get their good from Point A to Point B. But now, they’ve developed a method that can only be described as a pure stroke of genius.

A criminal pigeon has been busted this week, after attempting to smuggle drugs into Kuwait.
Kuwaiti Customs tracked the homing pigeon attempting to cross the border from Iraq, and managed to capture the trafficker.
Attached to its back was a bag with 178 pills.
There’s been no word on the possible sentence facing the deviant bird.
Now, if I’m to understand this “article” correctly, Kuwait law places this pigeon as the sole violator. I don’t have a strong sense of humor, so I’m assuming this is serious facts only. And, I just have to comment – how stupid would it be to actually put this bird on the stand? Will they put this bird in prison?
I guess this is a harsh reminder that I need to brush up on Kuwait law if I’m going to ever be a professional journalist.
But, how can you even be mad about this? That little backpack is TOO CUTE! I think there should be a global, UNIVERSAL even, rule that dictates that if drugs are smuggled into any country on Earth by means of animals with cute little backpacks, it should be pardoned.
I mean, damn – these smugglers are fighting tooth and nail to find creative ways to get drugs into other countries. Don’t you think we can throw ’em a bone every once in a while? Just regulate it and tax it, and I’m sure everything will be just fine.
We could even tell them, “hey – you can ONLY smuggle in safe drugs,” and I’m sure they’ll cooperate. There’s opportunity for a huge positive to come out of this story. The world just needs to speak up.
