Europe cocaine seizure means more bananas for zoo
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A major cocaine seizure in Europe turned out to be good news for the animals at Rotterdam's zoo.
The drugs were hidden among boxes of bananas, and the fruit went to the monkeys and other creatures at the Blijdorp zoo.
Dutch prosecutors said Friday more than eight tons of cocaine was hidden among the bananas on a ship from Ecuador. The drugs were seized Monday in the Belgian port of Antwerp, while the bananas were allowed to continue on to Rotterdam — the shipment's final destination. Dutch police arrested a Belgian truck driver and four Dutch men on Tuesday.
Dutch authorities say the seizure is the biggest ever in the Netherlands or Belgium.

I wonder what a Coked up monkey looks like?
Stupid is as Stupid does, Must have been Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest Families that tried this stunt, Well I can imagine that some in is going to want to get retribution, but I pity the poor fools that try to issue that retribution, You know if they would just stop shipping the illegal crap, they would have far fewer worries. But hey, that is why they are criminals. They don't think the Law applies to them. Ah hell just find there fields and Nuke the damn fields and such.things already. no more drugs, nor more cartels..and that is that.
More than eight TONS of cocaine seized??? Â Wow! Â Wonder what the street value of that would be... Â Betcha there are some REALLY unhappy people in Ecuador right about now..! Â Â
Â
Glad the monkeys are happy, though...! Â :-)
 @margay1 Why is it lately that people who eat bananas seem so much more vibrant?
 @Mikey ~  Don't know, Mikey... are the monkeys more vibrant, too?  Just wonderin'... Â
What's yellow and smells like bananas?
Don't know Mikey. But I do know what Is long and green and smells like Pork.

The monkeys made out like a fat rat on this one. Good for them.
Slippery little boogers, weren't they?
