British man named George Bush sentenced for selling monkey body parts on eBay

By Craig Hlavaty

A British man named George Bush was recently sentenced by a judge for selling the body parts of monkeys and other exotic animals on auction website eBay.

Bush, who is not believed to be related to the American political dynasty, has made worldwide headlines owing to his familiar name and how he achieved notoriety.

George Bush, 63, was brought up on a series of charges, including selling the body parts of endangered animals. According to UK media outlet The Independent, he admitted to law enforcement that he also possessed some 70 bestiality photos.

Selling illegally imported body parts of protected species is illegal in the United Kingdom. It's thought that the practice stokes the fire of poachers and other illegal actors in developing countries who don't follow the same conservation laws as other countries.

Too bad it took Great Britain to do it, and that the crime family is no relation.
