一名台湾男子日前因随身行李传出鸟叫声而遭迈阿密机场人员拦检,检查发现他挟带29颗未经申报的鹦鹉蛋。美联社报导,台湾男子被控走私禽鸟进入美国,最高可判20年有期徒刑。
美联社报导,根据在佛罗里达州迈阿密地区法院提出的刑事控告书,美国海关与边境保护局(U.S.Customs and Border
Protection)人员3月23日在迈阿密国际机场发现可疑现象,一名搭乘中美洲航空公司(TACA
Airlines)392航班、刚从尼加拉瓜首都马纳瓜(Managua)抵达迈阿密机场的男子吴斯达(Szu
TaWu,音译),随身行李竟传来阵阵鸟叫声。
吴男当时正准备在迈阿密转机返回台湾。
海关人员在检查站拦下吴男问话。佛罗里达国际大学(Florida International
University)教授、“稀有物种保育基金会”(Rare Species Conservatory
Foundation)主席雷罗(Paul Reillo)后来描述这件随身行李,其实是一个“精密”的温控冷却器。
刑事控告书写道,吴男将手伸进温控冷却器中,取出一个较小的袋子,并拿出一颗蛋给官员看。这名官员接着查看冷却器内部,看见更多颗蛋,以及一只刚破壳而出、还没长出羽毛的雏鸟。
根据刑事控告书,吴男告诉官员一共有29颗蛋,且他并没有运输这批鸟的相关文件。
吴男遭到逮捕,随后遭到走私禽鸟进入美国的罪名起诉。他于5月5日向法院认罪,判决将于8月1日出炉,最高面临20年徒刑。
吴男透过翻译告诉检方,一名朋友付钱要他从台湾飞到尼加拉瓜领取这批鸟蛋。吴男并表示,他不知道这批鸟的种类。
佛罗里达国际大学法医小组从蛋壳和夭折鸟儿的身上提取DNA样本来判定这些鸟儿的品种,发现24只幸存的鹦鹉来自8或9个巢窝,且包含了2个鸟种,分别为黄颈亚马逊鹦鹉(yellow
naped Amazon)和红额亚马逊鹦鹉(red-lored Amazon)。
雷罗指出,这两个鸟种深受走私界和笼养业青睐,因为它们外型亮眼且个性温驯。
世界鸟类保护总会(BirdLife International)将黄颈亚马逊鹦鹉列为“极危”(critically
endangered)物种,野生数量约在1000至2500只之间,红额亚马逊鹦鹉也被列为数量正在减少。
雷罗表示:“这类走私案绝大多数都以悲剧收场。这些雏鸟自他(吴男)从马纳瓜前往迈阿密的第一天就开始孵化的事实,说明了要是吴男一路抵达目的地台湾,最后几乎不可能有任何鸟只幸存,那是还要再飞24至36小时。”
他说:“鹦鹉的寿命很长,它们是有血有肉的生物。它们聪敏灵巧、高度社会化,值得拥有一线生机。”
