I would think the turtle ban on collecting which was a terrible plight on wild turtles would help breeders and even increase turtle farms because now you can only buy CB.



I know from a friend who has gone fishing in lakes,etc that he has seen turtles collected by the crate full . Traps are used than checked in few days.



Let the turtle farms now provide the Asian turtle market not the wild harvest.



The so called ban is very lax as is and should be made stricter .



The turtles in Florida with growing human population are becoming more and more limited as is.

Turtle farms which will be the outcome of this "ban" are the best thing that could happen to turtles.

Its a win win.
