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.:exactly:

For those who don't love reptiles, and respect the law, money is persuasive. And the more they do it, the rarer the critters get, which means more money for smugglers. Ethical procuring of livestock just isn't an incentive for them.
 
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.
