I have  question, Gayle

Is it now illegal to own a red-eared slider as a pet?  If so, why are we 
still seeing them today?  I remember having one  as a kid years ago!

thanks

Maybe Kents at MicMac Mall might want it. In their Garden Center they have 
an artificial pond with 3 (I believe) Red-eared Sliders residing in it. As 
for DNR, I recall an incident not long ago where a family had their Slider 
that had been their pet for years, confiscated by DNR. They were going to 
destroy it and the family, I believe, had to take the whole situation to 
court & it was only then that DNR released it to the Wildlife park.
