Bahamas Sea Turtle Group Launches Save Sea Turtles Campaign - Bahamas Sea Turtle Conservation Group saveourseaturtles is going international in a campaign to end the harvesting of sea turtles in the country. "It's a national disgrace that these magnificent animals are still hunted & so cruelly treated when brought ashore," said Jane Mather, President of Advocate for Animal Rights, a spokesperson for the group. "Fishermen bring the creatures ashore with their flippers pierced & tied with straw," said Mather. She noted that Bahamas fisheries laws still allow the catching & slaughter of certain turtles, even though The Bahamas is a party to the CITES, which calls on member states to protect all marine turtles. 9 sea turtles have been rescued over the past couple of years, rehabilitated & returned to the sea.
