They used to say the same about wolfs too, and now look what they are doing. Once they realize that by eliminating the predators they are freeing the real pests and vermin to run wild and destroy even more. What are they going to do when they kill all the coyotes and the rabbits, rats, mice, etc, etc take over and start eating all the vegetation that the turtles need to survive? Kill them too, it is a joke all this does is create a vicious circle. They complain the we destroy habitats what are they doing?
