I hope someone knows more about the legal history than I do. I can't find any restaurants near me that serve turtle soup. I understand the ban on sea turtles. But what about snapping turtles and alligator snapping turtles? Are those also illegal?
I think they eat turtle soup in the south like Tennessee or Arkansas. I've been to Arkansas when I was a kid and I member those hillbillies eat possum and raccoon so.. what about a turtle?
Not that I know of. There's a guy about a mile from here that's been famous for selling it since way before I was born!! He died a few years ago but his tavern still sells the stuff and they even have great big turtles painted on the walls outside to advertise it!
WOW what a very silly question to ask.
God Bless
It's not illegal that I know of, it's just considered hick food and people don't eat it much.
