happy new year!!
The Life of Pi Award
To two men who attempted to smuggle exotic animals through U.S. Customs at Los Angeles airport. Chris Edward Mulloy made it in 2002 with two endangered leopard cats in his backpack, but was finally arrested this year. Prosecutors said his companion in crime, Robert Cusack, was caught on the spot after an exotic bird flew out of his suitcase. Inspectors then found four birds of paradise and several threatened orchids in his bags. He was also hiding two pygmy monkeys in his underwear.
