PETALING JAYA: They were destined to be sold to keen buyers. But thanks to the Wildlife Crime Unit, over 1,000 endangered and exotic turtles were rescued from their captors and will be shipped back to their country of origin soon.
The animals are now under the protection of the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) after being smuggled into the country by air in luggage bags.
