Man tries to smuggle bull semen across border

A Canadian man was fined $5,000 for trying to smuggle bull semen across the Canada/U.S. border in a thermos.

WT-? Guess bulls are good for other things, too.
Devin William Warrilow, whose family runs an Angus farm near Edmonton, failed to declare 14 samples of the bovine germplasm after arriving at the Del Bonita, Alberta, customs office from Nevada, CNews reports.

The 22-year-old man and a friend declared some goods, including chewing tobacco, shoes and firearms reloading tools, but appeared nervous when replying to questions from custom officers. The pair were then referred to a secondary examination.

Upon inspection of the Minburn man’s pickup truck, officers found the thermos, which contained the semen, in the fan shroud near the radiator.

In Warrilow’s statement, he said the reason he hid the semen was because he heard it took three hours to clear customs and he was trying to avoid the delay.
