Brad, It's the same way the TP&W Commissioners treated the turtle hobbyists in Texas. They steamrolled over them and scapegoated them with that boilerplate HSUS "Where have all the turtles gone?" blather by preying on the heartstrings of America with that emotionally driven argument "They're all going to China to be eaten. How inhumane!" and with the eager support of marginal stakeholders with questionable to non-existent credentials...the ones that earn their chops by sucking up to power, like a bunch of Bobble-heads.

The Commissioners are the ones that earn their fortunes by modifying, fracturing, and destroying habitat...all the while degrading and polluting the environment. Don't believe me, just check their resumes out on the web. I've already posted the stuff here more than once.

In effect, nothing positive has been done to save native turtles other than to eliminate the private sector and encourage the "Professionals of Academia". Absolutely no different than the "Invasive Giant Constrictors" argument, just a smaller version. Wonder where they got that strategy template from? Probably from the successful Texas trial.
