Legalising Sea Turtle egg picking - Weird Law!

Yesterday morning, I heard about this news in FM933... I was like 'Hur, what stupid legalisation is this?'

Yes, this state (I should not mention the country) wants to legalise Turtle egg picking so as to prevent illegal activity. When this was announced, the Wild life conservative group strongly protested. Well, I protested too, in the car though.

Sea Turtle is one of the endangered and going to extinct marine life.

The sad thing is these young turtles sometimes, do not even have a chance to live to fight to the sea.... They ended up in someone's stomach! (angry)

I remember last year, there was news on the young turtles being hatched in east coast parks (Surprise!) They missed their way to the sea and dropped into the drain instead (cute!) Some young parkers saw and called the park rangers to arrange to put them back to the sea. So kind hearted...... I thought, the mama turtle must be very intelligent to have selected Singapore to hatch the next generation. Safe ground, for sure :) No egg pickers!

Some funny discussions we have when we are in the car, after hearing this news:

* Since East coast is quite safe place to hatch, we should direct more turtles to come......
We are peaceful animal loving country! Then, how to DIRECT the TURTLES??? No answer...

* The TRUTH about Ninja Turtle...
A: what is the benefit of eating turtle eggs? These egg picking people are bad...
B: I don't know...... Suppose to be good I think :P Still, they should know sea turtles going to extinct soon... Still eat! (angry)
A: Ohhhhh... So the cartoon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is for real!!! Perhaps these people eat the turtle egg will mutate and become Turtle!! (cru)
B: (Laugh out loud!!).... "Turtle POWER"!!

Turtles are 'long life' marine animal, hope their life will not be further shorten by human 'stupid' action and laws.

Peace "V"
