John Slattery, of Old Barrack View, Fairhill, Rathkeale, Co Limerick, was arrested on Friday and was surrendered to the US Marshals Service at Dublin Airport.
He is alleged, with two others, to have used "a straw buyer" to buy rhino horns at a taxidermy shop in Austin, Texas, for $18,000, which were later sold in New York for $50,000. Mr Slattery made his initial appearance in federal court in the Western District of Texas before US Magistrate Judge Jeffrey C Manske.
Scum
Good
Ireland is good at sending our people abroad, a tradition carried on from the British.
Big Knacker head on him.
It seems others could sell them fine in various states in US. But after he bought he sold for more profit. Doesn't sound like he did anything different than those who sold before. Bar selling them in a state where trade is banned.
Shameful .How is it that these guys 'culture' never seems to allow them to do an honest days work .
Slap a horn on his forehead & call him rhino.
America, any chance you can take the rest of the travellers while you're at it? Please
Give him the electric chair America 👍
He’s in some serious shit now.
Chop his nose off, see if he likes it.

Power tools, Gates and rhino horn
As a sign of remorse hes on his way to becoming the size of one
He looks like a lad caught like a hare in the headlights of a car. Price to paid though fella.
It’s our culture, Boss.
Ah he wasn’t to know, usually they dehorn Rhinos before they ride them bareback around Rathkeele. It’s a culture thing.
He should rot in jail for the rest of his miserable life.
