Suspicious Parcels and Biosecurity Issues

At Auckland International Airport, a biosecurity officer discovers a live cat brought in by an American traveler, posing a significant biosecurity risk. The cat is taken to a secure lab, and the owner is confronted about the undeclared animal. Meanwhile, at the International Mail Centre, a customs officer inspects a parcel from China declared as a doll.
