South African authorities arrested two Thai men at OR Tambo airport in separate cases involving 50 and 418 alleged parrot eggs carried in homemade incubator bags.
Removing eggs can reduce wild bird populations, while improvised transport kills developing animals and allows buyers’ demand for scarce pets to impose its costs on wildlife.
Former Lyft drivers reportedly inspect, charge, clean, and check tires on Waymo robotaxis at a Lyft-run depot in Nashville.
