Ernie is exactly right! You can't feed the teeming billions in Asia on wild-caught American turtles!!! It WILL assuredly drive many species to local or total extinction unless stopped. Most of Asia's turtle fauna is either gone or nearly so for just this reason.
Farm them, captive breed them in whatever quantities you wish, sell them to whomever you wish, but wild turtles should be subject to strict science-based bag limits.
