Hey guys,
I have a quick question not just for the canuks but also for everyone else.
What are your guys laws as far as owning a species that is cites 1 or 2?
Is there any laws out there that explain a tortoise or turtle for that matter in your possession may be illegal under the cites act that is enforced at your home not just at the boarder?
Example:
an indian star you have owned for years in your home being seized due to its rank on the list (cites not restricted locally) and its boarders being closed to export for years, not you being caught smuggling it?
I was always under the impression if you buy it from a reasonable dealer its not illegal but importing it is the same as smuggling?
I am looking for any info on the matter i can find and anything of the sort would be Greatly appreciated
