This is the same guy whose transshipments of captive bred baby water turtles (primarilly Trachemys and Pseudemys) were used for the fraudulent data of/for those Hell-bent on shutting down Turtle Hobbyists in Texas a couple of years ago. Bunch of bogus data. I got the USF&W documents through the Freedom of Information Act to prove my point.

The figures those people were throwing around in the press had nothing to do with the export of Texas Chelonians to Asia for food. The only one sending Texas Turtles to China as food was Bayou Bob Poppellwell, with his Snappers, Softshells, and Red-eared Sliders. He got a free pass. He's still in business, as far as I know.

When facts don't matter. It's all P.R. and spin. Just a bunch of emotional drivel.

So long as people choose to allow others to do their thinking for them, we're all sunk.
