yea, i did some reading up on this the night after i made my purchase, they throw turtles into concrete bins, cut the softshells "out of their shells" alive and saw RES in half while alive and sell them with the heads left on for "freshness"- i guess it's not the fact that they eat them and i devote hours on end to taking care of them, but the fact that they carve them up while alive - someone compared them to chickens once, but at least chickens have their heads cut off before they're plucked and chopped up
btw-i bought a (10.5" by 8" shell) female RES - she's doing great, amazing how she turned from dull and mean to full of life and very exporative of her environment in a week or so with some food
