>>I think its slightly more common in the case of turtle owners (I have had people tell me about the sliders they have released when they "got too big" who believe they are "doing the right thing" for the animal, and possibly fish owners.

When I was 6 years old, I was one of those people. =:-o

In FL, even!

I lived in Miami til I was 6. We had a red-eared slider. When we got ready to move (to Nashville), my mom took me out to some small waterway and released it. We have both learned a lot since then!
