Welkerii,
I didn't reply to your retarded post before when you completely dissed me because you made no sense. You said you didn't breed turtles and after reading the rest of your post, now I have to say something.
First, I have been breeding turtles for almost 20 years. You my friend are an idiot. Keep your mouth shut about stuff you know nothing about.
We are not proposing banning guns or anything. I agree with this ban because I have seen first hand what turtle hunters and turtle poachers do to native populations. You my friend are an idiot because over collecting for food and the pet trade do have a negative effect on turtle populations.
Now, I have been to turtle farms in SE Asia and the food markets of China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. You are a fool for saying they do not eat box turtles or sliders. They do, in large numbers. Period. They have completely decimated the native populations locally and across the borders in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, the list can go on. The Chinese desire for turtle meat and parts will not subside until every last turtle is eaten, period.
There is an old saying in Guangzhou, "If it flies and is not a plane, we eat it. If it has legs and is not a table, we eat it."
Get your facts straight.
I proposed what should be done. And you idiotic remarks about me personally and what should be done are foolish.
No where in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights does it mention that we are free to do what we want with our natural environment. If you think so, maybe you should go back to elementary school and learn to read!
