Giraffe feces seized at airport from woman who planned to make a necklace from it

U.S. Customs and Border Protection confiscated a box of giraffe feces from a woman who said she brought the excrement back from a trip to Kenya and planned to make necklaces from it.

According to a report from ABC7 in Chicago, the woman was returning to the U.S. on Sept. 29 when she was selected by CBP for inspection at the Minneapolis — Saint Paul International Airport in Minnesota.

“The passenger declared giraffe feces and stated she had obtained the droppings in Kenya and planned to make a necklace,” CBP said in a statement. “The passenger also stated in the past she had used moose feces at her home in Iowa.”

The box of giraffe droppings was destroyed via steam sterilization as required by the United States Department of Agriculture destruction protocols, authorities said.
