This week, we delve into the surprising world of softshell turtles-those giant, oddly captivating creatures that challenge everything we thought we knew about turtles. From their bizarre appearances to their lucrative role in Vietnamese villages, these turtles are more than just a curiosity-they're a pathway to wealth.

The article about the villagers who got rich from raising giant softshell turtles was impressive and inspiring. Their perseverance and creativity turned a unique idea into a reality, bringing in a large income and preserving a rare turtle species. I admired their work ethic and saw that humans can harmonize economic development and environmental protection. This story gave me confidence in the possibility of creating positive and sustainable changes.

they should release some of the native turtles to help bring back that wild population, this is also a great way to protect their business. if the farm were ever to get a infection or somehow else die out, they have a healthy backup in the wild population, and is also a great way to bring genetic diversity back up for the species, further improving their genetic resistance.
@PlaySA
@PlaySA Ай бұрын
These farms will destroy any genetic diversity there is left, eventually all of these turtles will have very similar genomes which will lead to their complete extinction.

Turtle is the only food I ever decided to try and then chickened out. On a lake in Cambodia in 1998 I was on a boat when the owner of the boat asked if I wanted a picnic. He lit a charcoal burner, scooped out a Turtle and just placed it, belly upwards, directly onto the fire. I ended up giving it to a local family.

Hey Andy, I don't mind trying the meat but not the skin. It seemed very small to be eaten especially when some of the other ones were so big. You gotta try a freshly laid egg. Is that meat sold in the supermarket.? Here in Amish Land Snapper turtle is a popular soup and Amish food. No thanks. Seeya Next Time ✝️🙏

More power to you but I can't stand how they prepare food in areas like this. Its off putting and so much organ meat and what not. I mean its slimy as hell, the damn finger claws are still on. There is NOWAY that tastes any good. Would need way more prep and finesse for my taste. Like all I hear over and over is gelatinous and it hasn't taken on any flavor of the broth/stew/soup...Like I said they need to work on preparing the meat better.

I’d like to first say this is my opinion mixed in with a few facts. I know I’m on the unpopular side of things so please don’t come at me! If there were more with my opinion, maybe our planet would be in better shape. I understand people HAVE to eat, but there are people all over the globe trying to repopulate our planet with all kinds of plants and animals that are going extinct or functionally extinct every day! You even say that during your video, but still eat one of these rare and beautiful creatures along with their eggs! Sorry but I can’t watch- ever.
