Maybe I wasn't clear, what specific laws are you talking about? I went to the Center for Biological Diversity's website and under "Actions" I could find no turtle laws.

I still agree more with b_rickard because I think your suggestion would require huge increases in policing the field and massive amounts of study for which there is no funding and which would take years, if not decades to determine exact sustainable harvest on each and every species of turtle.

What b_rickard proposed was not a ban, it was controls on certain parts of the turtle trade that would only affect those collecting massive numbers of turtles for the food trade.
