Stop Taking Endangered Reptiles out of Their Habitat!

I've seen many fresh imports from different countries just for the hobby. It makes me wonder why do people stake them out of the wild and illegally import them from country to country. If this keeps up turtles such as the spiny hill turtle and the most heavily trafficked turtle in the world the Asian box turtle. Will go extinct in the wild. Stop taking all animals of their habitat just for the hobby and the money.

Moving this to the discussion forums

I see what you're saying.

How do I move this to discussion forms never done it?

Just put it in turtle discussion forms.

No, I was simply stating that I moved it (I am a moderator on this site). I will move this to the turtle forum instead of general discussions.

If you find a way to stop illegal and/or unethical actions in the world today just by asking the perpetrators, we would all erect a monument in your honor.
