A trafficker arrested with 8 sea turtle shells
Benin, 16 Jun 2016
A trafficker arrested with 8 shells of Olive Ridley Sea Turtle. The fishermen keep massacring turtles on the coast of Benin and selling their shells. Although they often insist that the turtles destroy their nets, the numbers of killed turtles show that they catch them deliberately for meat and sell the shells as souvenirs to tourists.
