turtles are really long lived... its not like they die naturally after a few years
but if nobody touches them, no disease nothing, they can really live for hundreds of years
and that's.... kind of creepy.. knowing you may be eating something
that have lived on this earth
longer than you... uhh..
plus if you have been to chinatown market
and seen the turtles kept in dirty, unhygienic and tiny containers
where they can't do anything except float because there is no space....
and at the abovementioned chinatown market
as for frogs.. they dont just bang them on the head
they bang them on the head, skin them
and leave them still breathing lying on the board
until some auntie wants to buy them, then they get chopped.
