TL;DR Summary
A traveler returning from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Boston Logan Airport was found with four mummified monkeys in his luggage, which he claimed were dried fish for personal consumption. The US Customs and Border Protection seized the luggage, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention marked the nearly 9lbs of bushmeat for destruction due to the potential health risks associated with consuming wild animals.
