The ultimate effect of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. - Herbert Spencer
Awesome.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" This is why Turtle has oars on his boat.
You may be aware that the name Turtle Island is derived from creation mythology found in Native American Folklore, and it was their name for the land of North America.
North America was at one time covered by a shallow sea. One of the few places that was an island was a piece of the Ozarks. That's Turtle Island, where I live!
Rice and environmental officials brought several turtles to a news conference to announce the results of "Operation Shellshock," the name given the investigation. The ultimate effect of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. - Herbert Spencer
The Saint Francois Mountains, located in southeast Missouri, are a range of Precambrian igneous mountains rising over the Ozark Plateau. This range is one of the oldest exposures of igneous rock in North America. The range is often misspelled as St. Francis to match the local pronunciation. Contents Formed through volcanic and intrusive activity 1.485 billion (1.485 x 109) years ago.[1] By comparison, the Appalachians started forming about 460 million years ago, and the Rockies a mere 70 million years ago. When the Appalachians started forming, the St. Francois range was already twice as old as the Appalachians are today. The Saint Francois Mountains were formed by volcanic activity, whereas most of the Ozarks are a dissected plateau where localized vertical relief was caused by erosion following uplift during the Pennsylvanian and Permian periods produced by the Ouachita orogeny to the south. Elevations and strata dips in the Ozark structural dome generally radiate downward and outward away from the Saint Francois mountains. These ancient mountains may be the only area in the American Midwest never to have been submerged, existing as an island archipelago in the Paleozoic seas. Fossilized coral, the remains of ancient reefs, can be found among the rocks around the flanks of the mountains. These ancient reef complexes formed the localizing structures for the mineralizing fluids that resulted in the rich ore deposits of the area. -------------------------------------------------------- See? There really is a Turtle Island in the Ozarks, and existed hundreds of millions of years ago.
The perp claims he bought the turtles from a FLA dealer, but he's almost certainly fibbing. A medium sized spotted turtle costs around 200 bux. The small ones around 150. I'm betting that the price he quoted to the "turtle narc" was such that he couldn't possibly have purchased them legally and still turn a profit. And, the commercialization of wildlife was banned in 1900 by the federal Lacey Act. If the animals were illegally captured and transported across state lines then ass busting penalties can apply. (Most states mirror the federal laws so they can prosecute. Frankly, the federal courts are too long jammed to prosecute poaching of doves, ducks and deer, etc., anyway.) Here in DE a guy was prosecuted for netting glass eels and shipping them to some Asian and European countries where they're a delicacy.
Interesting.

Otero allegedly sold 10 spotted turtles, a species protected under state law, to an undercover investigator in a parking lot in April for $2,600.
