For real: 
VIETNAMESE airport officials discovered a cargo of 700 live snakes on a Thai Airways flight from Indonesia but destroyed them after no one claimed them.
"The snakes were alive when they were found in the cargo," a quarantine officer at Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport said. "Seven hundred snakes were later destroyed when no one claimed ownership."
The reptiles were found on December 19 in a container that arrived on flight TG 682 from Indonesia.
Accompanying paperwork identified the content as "live fish", the state-run Vietnam News Agency said.
