Sixty-seven giant snails seized at LA airport (BBC)

Sixty-seven live giant African snails have been seized by US customs agents.

The snails, which are prohibited in the US, were found by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspectors at Los Angeles International Airport.
 
They arrived from Nigeria and were intended for a person in California, said Lee Harty, a spokeswoman for the customs agency.
 
The molluscs are among the largest land snails in the world and can grow up to 8ins (20cm) long, said officials.
 
The US Department of Agriculture put the snails in an incinerator after they were inspected, said Harty, because they can carry parasites that are harmful to humans, including one that can lead to meningitis.

2. True, but like unwanted kittens and pups, this may have prevented further losses.

Never mind the havoc that any invasive species can create.

Still, I'm with you, it's sad.

Sixty-seven snails.

This DUmmy would be hysterical if he saw a bug zapper, or a windshield driving through Florida.

Seriously, I think this is the first time the DUmp has mourned bugs.

They haven't got time. Too many unborn murdered babies to cheer for and too many dead snails to cry for.

OH NO! If those things get loose here we'll have to import some Frenchmen to eat them to control 'em.

Your right....they are considered a delicacy in Africa. 

I just read where they can eat the paint and stucco off of your house.

Apparently the border jumping snails had little potential as future democrap voters.
