A German reptile collector has been jailed for 14 weeks and must pay a 5,000 New Zealand dollar ($3,540) fine for plundering New Zealand’s wild gecko and skink populations, a judge has ruled.
Hans Kurt Kubus, 58, is to be deported to Germany as soon as he is released from prison, Judge Colin Doherty ordered Tuesday.
Kubus was caught by wildlife officials at Christchurch International Airport on South Island in December, about to board an overseas flight with 44 geckos and skinks in a hand-sewn package concealed in his underwear.
Lizards. In his pants. Insert Charles Johnson joke here.

You just shut up you…you…white supremacist! And you are not fooling anyone, you and Prager are friends, racists and anti semites like Pam Geller.
I noted on Prager’s site, one of his racist readers called the President a “Kenyan.” That is clearly racist.
Barack Obama is not a Kenyan. He was born in the United States. And this label is very obviously a race-baiting insult, not even remotely similar to an affectionate nickname given to you by your friends.

It seems as though Fruit of the Loom and BVD are becoming deeply woven into the seemly underbelly of criminal and terroristic activity.

You missed what I thought was the best part of the article… The statement from the judge:
I don’t think you necessarily came here to steal to sell, but I am sure the fact that you might have had excess was figured into your thinking,” Doherty told Kubus.
Using the term “excess” would suggest that the judge thinks there is an appropriate number of lizards to have in one’s pants…

Do you want to touch my lizard?
