| Abstract |
|
On December 11, 2001 a confiscation of turtles was made by the Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department and Customs Ship Search and Cargo Command.3 The seizure was comprised of approximately 7500 individuals representing at least 12 species (Table 1), all originating from Southeast Asia. The animals had been transported in severely overcrowded conditions with no consideration for their biologic needs, destined for food markets. They were placed at the Kadoorie Botanical Gardens in Hong Kong until final destinations could be arranged. The small staff at Kadoorie was faced with the daunting task of uncrating, setting up enclosures, providing food and water and medical care for the 7000+ survivors.
