Three illegal exotic animals for sale on the internet seized in Tenerife
Agents of the Operational Unit of Internal Security and Administrative Police (UOSIPA) in Tenerife have confiscated three specimens of exotic animals during the month of March, that were for sale illegally through a well-known website, issuing seizure orders and starting sanctions against those responsible, as reported by the regional government in a press release.
The first police operation took place in San Isidro, in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona in the south of Tenerife, where the agents denounced a 24-year-old man who had a specimen of python molurus, better known as an Indian or Burmese python, which is a species included in Annex I of the Law 50/1999, of December 23, on the Legal Regime of the Possession of Potentially Dangerous Animals, which is why their sale is prohibited.
