    >Ng pleaded guilty to a single count of attempting to smuggle eastern box turtles

    >The federal government has arrested a number of people over the last year for allegedly trying to smuggle the turtles to China.

    What’s the deal here? Rhino horns, endangered turtles, etc… what motivates some people, specifically East Asian, to consume endangered species? It certainly can’t be logic.

    Up to 10 yrs. In prison and a $250,000.00 fine. Hope she gets the max. That might discourage them.
