UK Border Force intercepted over 250 endangered species and wildlife products in September and October 2025, including 2,000 live tarantulas, rare birds, and protected animal parts, during a month-long operation.
The seizures, which included snakes, spiders, and items like elephant hair rings and king cobra balm, highlight a 73% rise in smuggling cases over two years.
