I don't believe bringing back baby turtles into the pet industry is a good idea. The reasons being that most people don't know how to properly care for turtles and most likely will be unable to dedicate their time, money and commitment to caring for turtles, especially babies, which are very delicate and require 24-hour care. I also don't think most people have the knowledge to allow the baby turtles to live a happy, healthy and stress-free life in captivity. Many people already have trouble with caring for adult turtles and the somewhat healthy herps found in pet stores, let alone delicate and beautiful little babies which deserve the best care available. My opinion stands firm and I'm sure that there are others who would back me up behind my reasoning and logic concerning this issue. Anyway, thanks for bringing up the subject and I hope others may have comments regarding this as well. Hope to hear from all you guys soon.

_Dennis
