Understood and I respect that and I appreciate that. I would be the same way if it wasn't part of my livelihood. Wouldn't even be concerned about the herons.

I do wish I could just relocate them legally to a local river. My thinking is the disease concern is actually about exotic pet turtles bought at a pet shop, and they won't want to complicate the law by making exceptions.

I've never heard of snapping turtle die offs from disease. Has anyone else?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
