Tiger claws and cow urine from India seized at airport

Herbal remedies and massage oils containing ground tiger claws, poisonous plants and cow urine have been seized by border officials at a UK port.
The illegally imported products, bound for an address in Birmingham, were discovered by officials at Felixstowe Port in Suffolk in a consignment of 45 large cardboard boxes which had travelled from India.
It is the first time ground tiger claws, which may have come from tigers which were illegally poached, have been found by customs in the UK, Border Force said.
Cow urine, poisonous plants, and goat meat were also found in the ingredients of the 450ml herbal remedy and five-litre massage oil bottles.
Officials examining the load also found several large cockroaches that had fermented in the boxes.
