Sea Turtles should be farmed, not banned says letter writer

Read storyIn a letter published in The Tribune, Andrew Allen said The Bahamas should consider ways to farm sea turtles rather than ban their consumption.

Allen said the Cayman Islands have successful turtle farming and have found a way to sustain the turtle population.

He said too often Bahamians try to condemn customs and cultures that they don't agree with or don't enjoy themselves rather than looking for ways to make them sustainable.

I agree with Mr. Allen on the way Bahamians would preferably scorn rather than embrace because it echoes profoundly when you consider a vegetarian diet and the lack of menus that allow more than Side and Garden Salads... with rice.
