Authorities in southern Russia found eight monkeys of an internationally protected species in wooden crates and arrested those trying to smuggle them past a road checkpoint, Russia's Customs Service said on Monday.
Agents caught the two men as they were unloading crates from a Moscow bus into a taxi on the Rostov-Krasnodar regional border, the customs service said in a statement.
Inside were eight Green Monkeys, probably on their way to the Black Sea resort city Sochi, where they would have been made to pose for holiday snaps with paying tourists, it added.
The two men face charges of illegal wildlife commerce for smuggling the monkeys.

Smuggling = bad. Green Monkey = adorable.

poor monkeys.
I would figure if they were in photographs of travelers it would be difficult after that point to hide the fact that they were smuggled illegally...maybe they would have been taken from the resort after their pictures were seen by someone of authority.-
