The same could be said about the slaughter of whales in the ''old days'' at Scammons.
Does poaching today demonstrate lessons learned or more ignorance?
Don't fault ignorance? More PC blather.

Thanks folks for sharing those GREAT vintage photos. I await for more...without the office politics.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Like to see Manuel tied up -- along with the poachers. Like range fed cattle? Little butter, little garlic. Yum.
There's a comparison: cattle and turtles.

Somehow I knew this would be the picture that would get the most buzz.  I
really love these old pictures you are posting, Dad. You sure did have a lot of fun before I was born. I'm just glad you continued the fun and
introduced me to Baja!

What photos? I only see one...
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

I don't think that in 1965 Manuel was poaching turtles. I think he was making sure his family had food for the times when the wind blew for days or
the weather was so bad for an extended period that they couldn't get on the water. After all,that was their lively hood, fishing. Can't see tying
him up for that. Or calling him ignorant. Seems to me he was doing what needed to be done for him and his family to survive.
The cattle/ turtle comparison was just used to illustrate the fact that we confine OUR food sources as well. Those steaks and hamburgers don't just
appear at the market. I really didn't think I had to explain that. For the record I don't condone poaching, or the wholesale slaughter of whales.
Can I be clearer Lee?

There was no poaching in 65 only a way of life,everyone eat and hunted turtle,it was a business nothing more nothing less,fisherman hauled their
turtles to market as they would like anything else.
Having no refrigeration they would keep them alive for days until they had enough for a haul,in the north it was San Felipe where they had
large holding pens.
Barbecued turtle steak was to die for
Rob
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

If this were black and white, you'd be right I'd be wrong.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Watizname, The caption is what I don't understand. There has always been a bounty of things to catch and eat there.
I don't have any issue with what took place a long time ago. We used to pour oil on dirt roads is to keep the dust down. We learn and change.
Sorry, if I wasn't clear in my post. MMc
