I see wavy lane markers along the roads here in Thailand too, but not quite that severe.

In my state of Gujarat, we generally have a whole month of may where it will reach 113 for few weeks, 115 for few days, and above 105 in average. But this time we have > 60% humidity that is what causing problems. And even crazy is that it will not go below 80 until 2 o'clock at night.

Don't just try and stop the smugglers - stop the Elephanting Sunshines that buy them once they have been smuggled! At the moment, even if the penalties are serious - see Rhino horn, Elephant Ivory - only the smugglers get kicked, the people supporting it get off scot free.
If nobody buys 'em, nobody smuggles 'em.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yeah but that would piss off China and I would guess that it is their officials are the one buying the stuff, they are the one who can afford it. Superstitious bunch of arseholes.

Not just the people who do that, include the people jerks who buy these birds. If there were no one willing to pay to have their endangered bird, the perpetrators wouldn't go through the effort.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Wow, how can we as humans not think this is wrong in every way?
I agree with OG on this, if no one buys them then there's no reason to hunt them.

The real problems are the people who buy that stuff. For what the heck is it good. A souvenir or a cocktail. 
Press F1 for help or google it.

Seeing pictures like that makes me want to go and shove certain people into bottles. Yes, they will fit.

So was I correct about the company name? You did not reply to my email. I'm just curious is all.

Odd, I've checked my email and don't see anything from you. Try replying privately from this post?

How did they get the birds into the bottles?

I need some help from the Indian CPians ( maybe I should have moved this to the dedicated forum, but I am maybe not the only one to struggle). We are collaborating quite a lot with colleague in India, and I still do not understand how the names are working there. For instance, I write an email to a colleague named Vikram Ashrivantan. The Outlook data of the contact says : First name : Vikram, Last name : Ahsrivantan*, so I write him/her an email starting with
Dear M.Ahsrivantan, etc...
And his/her answer is signed:
Best Regards,
Ahsri
 What the elephant ? What is this ? Do you guys answer to formal emails with an abbreviation of your last name ?
*Name is made up for the sake of the example, I hope it does not translate to something offensive.

That just happens to be his nickname. My cousin Vikram goes by Vicky or Vickster. It's like someone by the name of Robert Ostrofski being called "Ski".

So the first name you picked is mine just by coincidence? 
Given you're not using the real name, it's a little difficult to pinpoint the issue. However, in states like Tamil Nadu, there is no concept of a surname, so they use the father's name (as it is, not like the Norse habit of adding a -son) as a "surname". However, some choose to add the father's name as a first name  so their name is actually their "surname".
Eg:
This lady's name is Meenakshi and her father's name is Seshadri, she goes by the name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meenakshi_Seshadri[^].
This guy's name is Ashwin and his father's name is Ravichandran, but he goes by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravichandran_Ashwin[^].
So, the case you're referring to might be no different from Robert Smith signing off as "Bob".
