they should release some of the native turtles to help bring back that wild population, this is also a great way to protect their business. if the farm were ever to get a infection or somehow else die out, they have a healthy backup in the wild population, and is also a great way to bring genetic diversity back up for the species, further improving their genetic resistance.
@PlaySA2 ай бұрын
These farms will destroy any genetic diversity there is left, eventually all of these turtles will have very similar genomes which will lead to their complete extinction.

If there were more with my opinion, maybe our planet would be in better shape. I understand people HAVE to eat, but there are people all over the globe trying to repopulate our planet with all kinds of plants and animals that are going extinct or functionally extinct every day! You even say that during your video, but still eat one of these rare and beautiful creatures along with their eggs! Sorry but I can’t watch- ever.

There is NOWAY that tastes any good. Would need way more prep and finesse for my taste. Like all I hear over and over is gelatinous and it hasn't taken on any flavor of the broth/stew/soup...Like I said they need to work on preparing the meat better.

Turtle is the only food I ever decided to try and then chickened out. On a lake in Cambodia in 1998 I was on a boat when the owner of the boat asked if I wanted a picnic. He lit a charcoal burner, scooped out a Turtle and just placed it, belly upwards, directly onto the fire. I ended up giving it to a local family.
