Not to be rude but, what laws are you talking about? This topic was about selling herps in parking lots and public places in CA and TN.

By the way I thought b_rickards idea to ban export of only meat, eggs and turtles over 2" was really good. It would allow big US exporters to still export cbb babies which could be raised in the country of consumption and still allow US hobbyist access to breeding stock and to breed and sell their cbb turtles. It would not take away any sales from collecters who aren't selling wc to overseas food markets and it would create more jobs in the country of consumption. The only downside I can see is that the price of turtle meat would go up in the short term overseas and they would probably sell less. Still, that's better for them in the long run because if take is not sustainable here then prices will go way up over there in the long run.
