I am sure, that what the large supermarket had hoped and expected!
However, there are a couple of very damning scientific papers, fairly recently published, which strongly argue the fact that Turtle farming is not sustainable.
This relates to the conservation issue.
Likewise, the scientific and professional support in the most recent press release from "Care for the Wild", also condemns the animal welfare issues.
In a recent defensive response from the large supermarket, they state that the are currently reviewing the practises and employing professional consultants in China and the UK to advice (DEFEND) the continued trade.
For these reasons, it is very important that the issue should still be a current priority!
