I am against the whole bill. There are so many turtles released into the wild, which upsets the ecosystem. IF the turtles do survive,most are not properly cared for. There are many who actually do the research & provide proper care for them. It is not easy or inexpensive. People also need to be aware that they are NOT DISPOSABLE pets. If properly cared for, they can live up to 25 - 30 years. That is not something to be taken lightly. They are already sold in petstores and the employees are completely uneducated in the proper care. I picked up a care sheet from a petstore chain and was horrified by the information given.
It is horrible to know there are already, probably thousands that are dying as we speak, due to improper care and now the turtle farmers out there are going to make a huge profit off of the death of even more. VERY, VERY SAD.
