Two Belgian youth who were discovered with 5,000 ants were fined for a 12 -month prison for violating 7,700 (6,775) or wildlife protection laws by the Kenya court.

Young people were discovered with small animals, according to the authorities, for the European and Asian markets, in the course of the growing tendency of trafficking in less known barbaric creatures.

The Belgians were arrested at the guesthouse on April 5, and on April 5, the Belgians were accused of violating wildlife safety laws on April 5.

Magistrate’s engineer Tuku, who attended Nairobi’s main court, said that in his decision, the youth said they were fun in court, but there were thousands of them in question.

Young people have entered the country with a tourist visa and are placed in a guest house in the western city of Niwasa, and their animal parks and lakes are popular among tourists.

The lawyer, Halima Nayakinuwa Magiro, said his customers did not know what they were doing were illegal.

Kenya’s Wildlife Service (KWS) stated that this case refers to the “change in transport trends – less known from the larger icon but also for environmental complex creatures.”

Not only does it illegally export ants, but also compromising Keni’s sovereignty rights in their biodiversity, but also losing local communities and intelligence agencies for potential environmental and economic benefits, KWS said in a statement.

In a separate but related case, Kenyan tennis Naganga and Vietnamese to Hung Nuayane were accused of having 400 ants in their apartment in the capital, Nairobi.

KWS said that four suspects were involved in ant smuggling for markets in Europe and Asia, including a large, red, native ant, a native ant.

Ants are purchased by people who hold their pets, and look at them in colonies.

Many web sites in Europe have different ant species for selling at different prices.

The KWS said 5,400 ants found with four men are worth 1.2 million Kenyan Jeemes (8,104 euros).
