Michigan state law issues

One of the people that were busted in the 'sting' into the 'ring' of people in the 'illegal' pet trade had a western hognose confiscated in his house along with some blandings turtles and some woods. This is James that works at a pet store here in Ypsilanti.
To make a long storey short he was allowed to get back his hognose , he goes to the station to get back his snake and the 'officials' there were going to give him back his blandings because they could not care for all of the turtles, he refused and told them he wanted nothing to do with the turtles,[hmmm ,this was because they raided his house by breaking down his door ,waking him with a gun to his face, and then cuffing him naked in front of his daughter while they ransacked the house including his daughters room]
does anyone else here see these animals suffering in the 'care' these 'officials' put them in.
I think many of these animals will die for the sake of an organization trying to justify their jobs.Or be tossed in a freezer as evidence
really helping the species here aren't they???
man stupid....stupid.
