Respect the traditions. What has being trussed up and lying on a block of ice in a chilled cabinet, perhaps for days or weeks without food got to do with tradition. Its to do with profit and what they can get away with.
But for international law, Tesco would doubtless sell, Rhino horn, tiger parts, elephant and other highly profitable lines. I've been through China and seen it. Other groups have complained to Tesco. Same response, they have a very convenient answer. Respecting tradition. JohnK Quote:

It has been recently reported that Tesco is to sell off all or part of it's Chinese supermarket subsidiary. Perhaps the investment in this market has "turned turtle"? |

Good was done... the market continues... only not in TESCOS hands... makes sense to me.

If it's sustainable take... not a problem at all. If it's released by USFW... it is legal take. There are populations of turtles in the US that should be culled due to habitat fragmentation and lack of predation.
As far as I know turtle take in the us is heavily regulated and controlled thoughout the country. There are also farms trying to supply the market but is being met with misplaced bunny hugger resistance. Quote:

Do you honestly think this is a new practice?????? Give it a little thought... in the 50s, 60s, 70s... there was no regulation... then there was regulation... why aren't these animals extinct??????... sustainable take.

Your reference to "sustainable take" needs, I would suggest to be qualified and explained? Where do you get your information from? ![]() |
