It is in China. Far closer to home a lot of my dive club
mates fetch back Lobsters from the sea for exactly
the same reason. Please don't write to them too.

But the turtles are commercially farmed, not wild caught. I certainly
wouldn't eat one myself, but I would feel a little hypocritical
condemning the Chinese for it.

Local north sea lobsters, I've caught quite a few, but my favourite is
crab to me a better taste.

What about every restaurant in Britain that cooks lobsters & crabs alive -
there ain't much difference, unless it's the cute factor of turtles.

Is this any worse than pointing out the grouper in the tank that they
Chinese cook them pulls out & cooks, no stunning just slices out the innards
..... fish is still struggling when they start cooking it.

Or the top Japanese restaurants who pin down live fish and slice off thin
slices of flesh so the punters can have the freshest Sushi ? ....
