Turtle Troubles in SE Asia
The Chinese have an appetite for turtles and tortoises. Two Chinese food markets are said to have sold an estimated 10,000 turtles of various kinds in two days and another estimate suggests there are at least 12 such markets in China. If they all sell turtles at that rate, an estimated 12 million turtles end up as food and Chinese medicine.
