All,
Here is more proof of the slippery slope. Why do we need to ban anything? Regulate maybe but ban, hell no. Here again the Animal Rights influenced academics, zoo herpers and agency biologists are at it again. They want to take away your rights and privileges to harvest a sustainable amount of turtles. They use the fear of the Asian market to justify taking away your rights. I don't see any provisions in these proposed regulations to allow sustainable take and sale, and the protection of captive breeding. I would write the SC reps in this story and tell them not to support these regs. If there is non-biased scientific evidence on SC turtles that can be used to establish reasonable bag limits then so be it but bans are wrong.
