Turtling (hunting)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turtling is the hunting of turtles, a practice formerly a big part of the economy in many nations of the West Indies. In recent times, however, it has become outlawed.

Turtle hunting was a big part of feeding families in North America, the Midwest in particular, in the the 1930s.^{[citation needed]}

Throughout the world, hawksbill turtles are taken by humans even though it is illegal to hunt them in many countries. In some parts of the world, hawksbill turtles are taken and eaten as a delicacy. As far back as the fifth century B.C., sea turtles including the hawksbill were eaten as delicacies in China.^[1]
