Anyone Else Disturbed by Florida Turtles Shipped to China for Food?
Last week I read in the St. Petersburg Times that editorial, “China Gobbling Up Florida Turtles” and it made me sick. Basically, humans are illegally harvesting Florida’s freshwater turtles thereupon shipping them abroad to be eaten. China appears to be a big market, but looking at that bulletin: Florida Fish & Wildlife March 2008 Intelligence Bulletin on the Commercialization
of Florida’s Freshwater Turtles, Japan is a big consumer of Florida’s freshwater turtles.
If you find that disturbing, contact Florida Governor Crist to put a stop to that and save Florida’s turtles! You can drop him a line at:
Governor Charlie Crist
