only $22.  the pet trade is horrible, hope Trump bans it.

back in 1985 i had a fish tank with a similar fish, it cost $45, 
that's over $100 today.  poor thing died when we had a blackout in January,
it got cold.

Why would trump care about this?

By Brandon Champion | bchampio@mlive.com
A man is being held in federal custody after he allegedly poached and sold more than 1,800 turtles.

Albert Bazaar, formerly of Angie, Louisiana, is charged in Phoenix with Lacey Act violations, including aiding and abetting a co-conspirator who exported the
turtles from San Francisco to Taiwan and falsely claiming they were captive-bred to obtain export permits.


The turtles are native to Florida and include 1,700 loggerhead musk turtles, 100 stripe-neck musk turtles and 15 striped mud turtles. They are estimated to be
worth more than $550,000 in the Asian pet trade.

The indictment describes eight transactions where Bazaar sold illegally collected turtles to the San Francisco exporter, who allegedly financed his poaching
trips from Louisiana to Florida, including sending money so Bazaar could buy a boat and van.

Florida law protects fresh and marine turtle species from unregulated harvest.

Bazaar is also charged with creating a declaration of captive bred wildlife that falsely stated to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that the turtles were
lawfully bred in Alabama and Georgia.

The Lacey Act criminalizes selling or transporting wildlife in interstate commerce that was taken in violation of state law. If convicted, Bazaar faces a
maximum penalty of five years in prison and $250,000 fine on each of the conspiracy and Lacey Act charges.


Loggerhead musk turtles, stripe-neck musk turtles, and striped mud turtles are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora.

Senior Trial Attorney Ryan Connors and Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth Chambers for the Northern District of California are prosecuting the case.
