If you are worried about snapping turtles, I would like to point out that hundreds of stoned, naked teenagers skinny dipped in Max Yasgur's pond during Woodstock with no reported turtle problems.*

A month after Woodstock, a trapper took 40-50 snappers out of the pond.**

* - I heard this fact from Sunil, who was in attendance. He never missed a Hendrix concert.

** - This implies one can trap snapping turtles.
