Summary: "Conchs & Sea Turtles Alive!" by RexCurry.net
Comment: Very informative and good photography as well. The book reveals that sea turtles are farmed and available to eat in restaurants in the Cayman Islands.

As an attorney, I am asked if there is a legal way to eat sea turtles in the U.S. and I know of no way, and the government will jail someone for a felony for merely handling a sea turtle. If you are a U.S. citizen, then you can legally eat sea turtles only if you leave the U.S. to visit countries that are more libertarian about turtles (e.g. the Cayman Islands).

The book informs that Grand Cayman Island has a turtle farm with a petting zoo, and provides turtle meat for soups, stews and steaks at island eateries, and produces shells and other turtle products. Farms bring turtles closer to everyone's heart (inside the stomach).

The journalist and historian Rex Curry has written about how the U.S. government imposed socialistic laws that almost destroyed the Cayman Islands turtle farm, and those laws still harm turtles in the U.S. and prevent turtle farms. Turtles are cold-blooded, but not as cold-blooded as bureaucrats.

If you are from the U.S. and buy turtle products, then your government will confiscate your property when you return to your own country, and that is the least that your U.S. Customs will do to you. The U.S. wasn't always a socialist police state. Liberty helps turtles and the people who love them (to eat).

The book also has info on conching (harvesting and eating conchs) another activity that is available in the Cayman Islands, but no longer possible in the U.S. even in Key West, the "Conch Republic" where all conch dishes are made from imported conch (imported from the Cayman Islands?). Yummy!
