Bahamas Outlaws Killing of All Sea Turtles

The Bahamas Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources gives full protection to all marine turtles found in Bahamian waters, outlawing the killing, possession, and sale of the turtles.

The Ministry amended the Fisheries Regulations governing marine turtles in order to give full protection to all marine turtles found in its waters. Five of the world’s seven sea turtle species inhabit the Bahamas, and previously it was legal to kill any sea turtle species found there except one, the hawksbill. The hawksbill turtle has been protected in the waters since 1986.

3. I agree . . . it's a start. But my parents have a house in the Abacos.
Laws don't mean a helluva lot when there're no police to enforce them.

6. The Bahamas hates FREEDOM
If God didn't want free-marketers to SLAUGHTER ANIMALS, then why did God make them out of MEAT?
