They have a hundred year life span. How can a so called "sport" like hunting justify ending that life early just to make soup. I am not even sure they do make soup. Most of them will waste the life they have taken.
They are so big and slow moving it is hardly a challenge to catch them.
They are trying to protect them on the roads and they have people watching some nest sites. They even harvest and hatch eggs from females killed by cars. They leave the water so they can lay their eggs on land. It is the one time they are really vulnerable.
That means hunters were probably killing females who were risking their lives to lay eggs. How low can someone go. They were killing animals that were "in labour" or at least soon to deliver. How do hunters live with themselves? Do they really believe the things they say?
