They are farming sea turtles? Ok, so I learned something today. :-) Is there any more information on it? Thanks!

>Many species of turtle are endangered world-wide. I don't advocate eating
>them. I was served an excellent turtle stew, made of a sea turtle of which there was at that time a maximum allowable take, at a small restaurant in Oaxaca. It was excellent, but enough like veal that I don't see any reason not just to be content with veal. >Nothing more awesome than encountering a turtle in the wild. I admit I've never done this. But, still, I think my standard of awesomeness may be higher than the one indicated here. For 12 years, I've lived quietly with a red-eared slider, who divides his time between paddling in 15 gallons of water and basking under a full-spectrum 40-watt light bulb. I've had better and worse companions. These guys live about 25 years; he was at least 5 years old when I got him, and this one's evidently committed to getting his share, so we could still have another 8 before he checks out, if someone doesn't eat him first.

When we visited it, we were shown tanks of crossbred turtles that they said were for the commercial market. Unfortunately, they don't talk about it on their web pages... or at least the ones I looked at. I guess eating sea turtle is "so" not PC, they don't dare mention it (even if they are farm raised - like venison). |

I'm a big believer in aqua culture. Salmon, Sturgeon, etc. Anytime we can start "farming" a luxury item and take the pressure off the wild populations, the better! :-) I'm waiting for abalone farming to really take off so I can enjoy that wonderful mollusk again! http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...balone+farming I still draw the line tho' at consuming cetaceans. I feel that they are sentient and eating them is tantamount to cannibalism.

The big snappers are HUGE and could probably take a Canadian gosling in one snap. ;-P They do resemble godzilla! <G> Hey, let the hunters take care of the geese! I've heard it's pretty tasty.

You can't kill too many at a time, though or it'll make a mess of your pond(too many bodies for nature to deal with). Other than that I can't think of any way to kill a turtle unless you catch it when you're fishing and then cut it's head off. -Scott |
