That is a horrible story. I know its past, but from the get go you should have gotten a lawyer. I absolutely will not give up on this though. I am utterly disgusted with the people who run the conservation programs in PA (the ones I have emailed at least). And I too do not trust the people who run the gov't. All too many times have I been the victim only for the police to make me look like I did something wrong. I still have no idea how to go about getting any permits. It seems either no one knows the answers to my questions or doesnt want to be bothered by them. It makes me sick to see the amount of "red tape" one has to deal with when trying to actually do good. And even if I would get the answers I wanted, got permits, raised and bred endangered turtles, I would probably still get the run around from people. The more and more that I think about your story, the more and more I wished I lived in canada. (j/k....maybe)
