Has everyone forgotten that only a small percentage of the turtles involved
were taken illegally? I made that point when the original post came out that it
was slanted to make it look like all the turtles taken were illegal. While I
don't agree with the taking of endangered turtles from the wild lets remember
that only a small number of turtles involved in this case were indeed illegal.
Possibly that is why the fines were so low?
