Customs agents at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport seized and destroyed a box of giraffe poop that a woman had brought to the U.S. from Kenya.
The woman, from Iowa, was selected for inspection by agricultural specialists from the customs agency on September 29 when she arrived at the airport in Minneapolis.
When questioned, she quickly told them that she had a box of giraffe feces with her and planned to make a necklace out of the droppings. She elaborated that she had previously made jewelry from moose droppings.
Augustine Moore, Cbp Area Port Director at the airport, stated, “Cbp agriculture specialists have extensive training and experience in the biological and agriculture sciences, they inspect travelers and cargo arriving in the United States by air, land, and seaports of entry.”
In accordance with the U.S. Department of Agriculture destruction protocol, the box and giraffe poop were destroyed via steam sterilization.
