While the Turtle Conservation Fund is right about promoting captive breeding programs, do they also promote the taking and maintaining in captivity every turtle you see on the road? I think if you wrote them or called them and asked, they would tell you that's a bad idea. Where does it end? How many turtles do you take out of the wild before there are no more in the wild? How many turtles can you remove from the habitat and not make a lasting impact on the entire ecosystem in which that turtle lives? It isn't about saving the turtle or the whale or whatever cause someone happens to pick up, it's about the whole environment and good, bad, right, wrong, for better, or worse humans are part of that environment.
By the way 2 cents is all I need!
