How about works of art painted in fentanyl laced gelatin paint?

Just giving you all a hint lol. You could paint an entire car in that.

Remember the old saying, “you catch more flies with eggs than fentanyl.”

Why didn’t their orange shit stain make eggs cheaper like they claimed they voted for so they can avoid admitting they’re racist and sexist

to contextualise : eggs aren’t just food, they could also contain various animals that could distrupt the ecosystem, hence why they were smuggled before, why border cops are looking for them, etc.

hey could also contain various animals that could distrupt the ecosystem,

The only thing that an egg that someone is likely smuggling in is going to contain is a chicken, and we’re also currently short of the egg-laying variants of chickens, so a black-market Canuck egg-laying chicken wouldn’t go amiss either.

and you personally can tell apart chicken eggs from rare lizard eggs or any other egg that might be a similar size to a chicken egg?

Just about the only hard shelled reptile eggs are crocodilian, some turtles, and a few outliers like some geckos. Very few of any of those would be confused with chicken eggs. There also are (hopefully still) wildlife experts as part of border patrol who can and do make those determinations.

That said, there are endangered bird and reptile species that we don’t want trafficked and smuggled eggs get rescued by animal control portions of border security unfortunately all the time and they should keep doing their job.

But, most of them are just food, because we would never have this uptick in smuggling otherwise.

And we’re signaling border officials to throw away all of that food, as if we didn’t waste enough food in this county.
