That's similar to what I said in an earlier post. That the ODNR is not actually doing anything to help the populations of Ohio herps with its regulations. It just limits the ability for breeders and hobbyists who know the law, and abide by it, to keep and breed Ohio herps.
1) It is still legal to kill non-endangered herps.
2) There is little to no habitat protection for critical habitat.
3) Unknowing individuals who don't keep up with laws pertaining to herps, or just plain don't care, still take herps like Box Turtles to keep as pets. Alot of times these are kept in horrid conditions until they die.
So where is the real threat? ODNR needs to rethink their position on these issues.
