Frau bekennt sich schuldig wegen des Versuchs, Schildkröten per Kajak nach Kanada zu schmuggeln

>They are sold on the black market in China for $1,000, the Associated Press reported.

>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.

If I don’t save the wee turtles, who will!?
