   Yes, the wording of the "turtle regulations" is pretty tortured. It =
doesn't look like they were  written by a lawyer, nor a biologist.... I =
do wonder how often the Deputy Minister of Health grants permissions for =
individuals to keep a turtle.
   Incidentally, DNR staff picked up the downtown Dartmouth Red-eared =
Slider at my house.. I do hope that it is enjoying its new domicile at =
the Shubenacadie Wildlife Park.

  Guess that when they wrote the law, they didn't know that genera is =
the plural of genus.


  So the Deputy Minister of Health can give you permission to sell a =
turtle.  He might be a good friend to have.  He probably has many =
friends. ;-)
