Would you consider a pet store (petco, petsmart,etc) a legitimate source? What made me ask this was I am constantly seeing ads posted on Craigslist about people selling native turtles, some admit they caught them, and others say they bought them from pet stores.
When I find these ads I give them to the DEC because I know these people do not have permits. Who's to know for sure if a pet store has legal animals? People bring in their unwanteds all the time, for all that pet store knows, that person scooped up that turtle from the wild!
In a way I just wish the right authorities were a little more strict on the wildlife stuff.
