Reminds me of the guy that shot the eagle out of the sky.....
"ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines—Authorities enforcing environmental laws, who returned Wednesday to conduct a final assessment on a stilt house in Sitangkai, Tawi-Tawi that earlier yielded 66 dried turtles, made a surprising discovery—more live marine turtles trapped in a net cage.
According to Superintendent Rodelio Jocson, Tawi-Tawi police chief, 39 live turtles in a net enclosure hidden beneath the bamboo house on stilts owned by Utong Gumbahali, were exposed after tidal waters in the coastal town receded.
“Our forces returned on Wednesday to conduct final assessment inside the house of Gumbahali after the seizure of 66 dried sea turtles last June 12 and found a huge net under the house, which yielded many turtles,” Jocson said by phone.
The 39 hawksbill and green sea turtles—both protected species—were immediately tagged by personnel of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Sitangkai before being set free, Jocson said.
Jocson said a total of 105 dead and live turtles seized from Gumbahali’s house had been accounted for.
The suspected poacher is being detained and charged with violation of the Wildlife Act, he said."
