Amman shop owner faces trouble over display
A number of preserved statues, including a crocodile, were seized inside commercial stores in downtown Amman based on a report from the relevant authorities. The Court of First Instance for Penal Cases in Amman sentenced the shop owner to a fine of 100 Jordanian Dinars, with the statues being confiscated, on charges of possessing preserved animals without legal permission. The case originated from a raid targeting the shops following reports about preserved specimens inside herbal remedy shops. Investigations confirmed that the crocodile was hanging inside the store and that the preservation process was not observed. The court relied on the Agriculture Law and the Bird and Animal Protection Law, considering that embalming without permission is a violation. It decided to impose the penalty and the fine, in addition to confiscating the animals that were seized.
