HUA HIN, Thailand (AP) - Brandishing pistols, a half dozen Thai police officers jump out of a pickup truck and surround the house of an alleged international wildlife trafficker.
"Open the door. We want to search your house," yells one agent.
The team storms, arresting the Filipino suspect and confiscating boxes full of ivory from Africa destined to be sold across Asia. They also find 20 pangolins, armadillo-like animals that could have been killed to supply the traditional medicine markets of China.
