I’ve never had turtle soup, but I’d try it. Looks tasty in the picture, anyhow.
OTOH, I’m not sure I would like Mrs. Tick eating “snapper” for, er, enhancement purposes. Sounds kind of dangerous! If you know what I mean (and I think you do).
Decimated - Ok, so one in ten turtles got eaten. What of it? Or does someone need to actually read the dictionary before using fancy words they don't mean?
Okay, now we see that you’ve got a lot of turtle-related photos. Certainly there must be more, such as a snapping turtle biting a person’s toes, or a turtle with his shell and head off, being prepped for the pot.
Anything you actually want to say to us about this issue, if issue it is? Do yo think it is a good or bad thing that the US is providing turtle meat to an insatiable and ever-growing population of Chinese nationals?
I’ve got a lot of turtles in my pond and I find them really amusing, funny and gutsy.
I feed the fish, geese, ducks and turtles day old bread almost every day. The fish are voracious and the turtle are very gutsy and funny. The can see you coming and start swimming up to the shore and through the algea. They will come right up on shore to grab a piece of bread and then shoot right back into the water.
Baby ones, bigger ones and 2 great big ones. They fight with the fish over the bread bits.
I wouldn’t sell them. They’re too much fun and amusement. I respect them. They’re just trying to get by like the rest of us.
The Chinese will eat everything and anything. So will the Japanese and Koreans. They should give it a rest.
