As for the testicles, Rocky Mountain Oysters are a favorite food in some regions of the USA. I see very little difference between eating bull testicles and eating horse testicles.
True, although many conservative people in the US treat horses better than their fellow humans. Eating such an animal might be taboo. In reality, this might not be a big deal. But for a foreigner, it might seem like a major taboo.
Aw, DARN! I was counting on those for dinner tonight!
Actually, they might be RIGHT that they are f"for medicianl purposes"...in Mongolia, horse testes MIGHT be a medicinal aphrodisiac to ...er...uh...um...HELP their Husbands...ah...um...equipment... "perform" better?
SO who needs viargra when you've got balls!
ANd in Northern Mongolia, they don't have much more than Yurts to live in, so a fridge is NOT a necessity.Watch Nat Geo channel sometime.
Remember, just because we do something one way, doesn't mean the rest of the world does it that way too.
People are so stupid not to do their homework before flying to another country. I always check for new regulations when I'm flying since things change from time to time. (I don't fly that often)
They were either smuggling it or just didn't have a clue that they could take it in their luggage.
They knew. They went to the trouble to try and hide it.
Customs and Border Protection agents have seized 42 pounds of horse meat, including 13 pounds of horse genitals, from two women arriving from Mongolia at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.
The horse meat was hidden in juice boxes. One of the women said the horse genitals were for medicinal purposes.
Ummm, well...the only crime here is attempting to smuggle in non FDA approved animal products from a foreign country. It's a health issue more than anything. I'm thinking they could have declared the meat and....parts, and possibly gotten them through. With proper storage and transportation methods. IDK, maybe. I've brought back fish and meat and such from hunting and fishing trips, and just declared it at inspection. Frozen and packed in sealed coolers.
Granted, it was state to state and not from Mongolia, and not in such large amounts. I had the bulk of meat from harvested game shipped seperatly from butcher shops I had process the bulk of it. But I've taken select cuts on board in carry ons. Never had an issue. Except for once where the agents mouth was watering over some smoked elk sausage I had. Lol, I could see his wheels turning.
