Is it a convalooted world or what? People there are dirt poor but the tortoises are worth 6-$7000 in the USA.Whats wrong with this picture? I dont think you can smuggle them(torts.) to the Us as easy now after 911.Ive been to conservation talks that stated so many are being taken by the tribes that arnt tabooed about eating them that QUOTE "we must raise the fines for taking them" oh yea! that will work on the poorest people in the world.QUOTAS! with money for the folkes!We'll make more.They can buy a Popeyes Chicken Store,and say "it tast like turtle."
