Sea turtles are friends, not food

Loretta Tainao, the woman who purchased, cooked and ate a threatened sea turtle last year, has plead guilty and is being sentenced in February. (February 13, 2008, at 8:30am, to be exact. I'll be sure to report here.) The offense can bring a one-year maximum imprisonment with a fine of $100,000.

And, no, she did not cook a set of sea turtles. There was just the one sea turtle. Thankfully. That kind of ambiguity is a pet peeve of mine.
