First with the snakeheads and bear livers and now they are eating up endangered terrapins. See the linked article.

If you live in the area and it is convenient please check on these markets and report them if you see any terrapins. If you don't live in the area and there are any Chinese markets near you please monitor them also. Report them to the DEC.

They should screen these bastards for stupid superstitions before they let them in the country. I say that because the Chinese-Americans that I know that are integrated and don't believe this baloney. Perhaps we need some special lesson plans in isolationist china-town school districts too. I don't know I don't leave near one but apparently there is some contengent of chinese who are into mumbo-jumbo in this country.
