That's what I was getting at.I understand an animal being protected in certain areas(different states) but,why would buying a CB (no, I'm not gullable sp.) spotted turtle from a state where they are not protected or the breeder is Lic. be a problem.



It in no way shape or form has anything to do with that states population.That law is BS,...



And as for releasing the CB babies from a headstart program.That's a total different situation.To take adult CB animals and release them into the wild is as stupid as the law.



I can't find the article but..A guy in Ga. had his turtle confiscated , like 360 something turtles by the Dept. of wildlife.



Turns out the guy had permits and others didn't need permits for him to keep them.



He went to have them returned and they for the most part all died in the care of the wildlife @%^ holes that where *doing what was right for the turtles*...wildlife officials should hire people that actually know what they are doing...To me , for the most part they're the same as hiring a vegitarian butcher.
