Kitten discovered in hand luggage
26.08.06
A kitten was seized by staff at Newcastle Airport after a British woman carried it as hand luggage from Iran. The four-week-old cat had journeyed to Tyneside from Tehran via Amsterdam.
Airline KLM said the kitten had passed through an X-ray scanner, but Dutch security staff may not have known about the UK's strict quarantine laws. The kitten was seized by customs officers and taken to a quarantine centre in York, where it will be held for 6 months. The unidentified woman said she was unaware she had done anything wrong.
