London Subway Now Catering to Those With Hidden Ailments
Starting in spring 2017, people with invisible disabilities can apply for special badges that will ask their fellow passengers for a seat.
In what is being called the "largest ever wildlife haul in the country", more than four tons of endangered turtles were rescued by police who busted a smuggling ring in India earlier this week.
"Wildlife authorities confirmed that this is the largest haul in the country's wildlife history, both in terms of number and weight — 4.4 tonnes," Arvind Chaturvedi, head of the state's Special Task Force that rescued the turtles, told AFP.
Though flapshell turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act, thousands are smuggled out of the country every year. Their meat and shells typically sell for 1,000 to 8,000 rupees ($14 to $117), depending on the size.
