<P style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 16px">Hundreds of
turtles across the U.S. are being ripped from the wild
and stuffed into socks, diapers, or boxes labeled "toys"
— all to fuel a cruel international trade. Recently, a
smuggler in Brooklyn pleaded guilty after attempting to
ship 850 turtles worth $1.4 million to Hong Kong. Many
of these animals were Eastern box turtles and three-toed
box turtles, native species already in decline.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 16px">The cruelty is
staggering: turtles bound and taped, smeared with
substances to confuse detection dogs, and shipped
overseas where they are sold as exotic pets or status
symbols. But the real tragedy is ecological. Box turtles
can live for a century but reproduce slowly, meaning
that taking even a few can devastate an entire
population. And yet, thousands are stolen from U.S.
habitats every year. <B><A
