Me: The fuuuuuck? *click* This has to be a misleading title... Me: THE FUUUUCK Article: ...”over the past 12 to 18 months, agents in New York have seized nearly 200 finches.” Me: BUT WHY Article: “Bucci said finches are used primarily for gambling purposes...”

Clearly these people have not heard of this other thing that goes on in this world every day ITS CALLED WORK AND WE GET PAID FOR IT WITHOUT STUFFING BIRDS INTO ROLLERS , they should try it as its AMAZING 😁

Well that is terrible.

Man, talk about flyaway hair.

It’s disheartening & disgusting to read the flippant responses here. The smuggling of animals is a horrific, barbaric, cruel & criminal worldwide problem. Animals are grabbed from their natural habitat which is trashed during the theft & most die a painful death. Wildlife ESA

FlintDSpencer they’re up to something...

FrecklesXX20 Rollers for fly away hair?

There's a Twelve Days of Christmas joke here, I just know it

Why, Jesus? 😩

See, these bad people come over on planes, they don't walk across the border.

You are flocking kidding me.

Were they curlews?

Looks like the wings of these smugglers were... *puts on sunglasses* ... clipped. *guitar riff* Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!

So that’s why my bird never arrived? Lame!!

Wonder how he would like being shoved in a tube like those poor finches.

Something something muh Drumpf

lmfao. Plebs. I've gotten 100 into the US in my asshole alone.

i always travel with 36 hair rollers

I've never met or facilated the use use of these birds.

Animal smugglers, poachers, and abusers deserve to die a painful death.

Okay, strangest hobby I've heard of in a while.
