Everyone is entitled to their opinion when it comes to the meat hunters. Mine is pretty straight forward,



Moderate collection for the pet trade is one thing but,



I don't associate the collection of turtles for the meat trade with the live animal trade. I can't distance myself far enough away from these people. What these guys do has nothing to do with me or ever will. I don't care what happens to them. It's to bad that collectors and breeders have to suffer becuse of it.



I don' think I've ever seen anything as rotten as what these turtle hunters do. Cold, ruthless. It takes a special kind of low life . The greed and stupidity exhibited by the meat hunters is the worst I've ever seen in any segment of society. True some guys made good money by killing hundreds of thousands of turtles. In my opinion making money like that doesn't make a person smart. Like selling drugs any dummy can do it.



The legal problems these guys are facing were brought on by themselves. Seasons ? bag limits ? egg harvesting quotas ? legal trapping zones ? Nothing was enough.



Their willing to heartlessly kill as many turtles as they can at any cost. Legal or other wise this makes me sick.

Turtle meat trappers represent the worst of the worst.
