Nearly 10 tons of endangered animal parts from Africa, including ivory and rhino horns that were seized from a smuggler in Da Nang City, have been incinerated.
A court in the central city ruled Thursday to burn 456.9 kg of elephant tusks, 140 kg of rhino horns, 6.2 tons of pangolin scales, and 3.1 tons of lion bones.
The animal parts, which would cost an estimated VND300 billion (US$12.36 million) on the black market, were seized from Nguyen Duc Tai, 33, a Da Nang resident.
