I don't like it either but understand that it most definately is a cultural issue... the people involved are not doing this to be cruel intentionally. This is a part of their culture. This is the way they were raised and learned to accept.
Why I even voice an opinion is because where does the control, that one person trys to take over another, end?
This might be a good cause but the turtles being used are mostly sustainable take animals.
The humanity I wonder about first is the way some people treat others. When everyone comes together to fight a common cause... putting asside their petty differences... that's when I'll support this kind of cause.
The point of the Florida fishing ban was brought up a few times before so I thought I'd look into it a little. It's ironic that I found this article at the top. I first thought that it was going to be biased but was surprised to see that it was some of the best unbiased... actual reporting... I've ever read.

It addresses many points on both sides of the discussion.
One other thing... there is not a ban nor are they intending to ban the practice... restrict or control might be a better word.
My interest in this... control... can't stand it. There is one control that might actually help the situation... population. That is the root problem that all of these discussions seem to skirt.
