I know the wholesaler in MD for Terrapins. There is more than enough demand locally, not counting internationally, that not buying them for conservation purpose will not even dent the demand for them. Even, you buy them to save them, or they will be sold to cooking pots. The wild caught ones should be saved. Farmed turtles are a fact of life. Must compromise somewhere.
