"On August 29, undercover officers from the state Department of Environmental Conservation conducted a successful operation in Brooklyn, confiscating four eastern musk turtles that had been advertised for sale online."
"The turtles were quickly transported to a rehabilitator for care, highlighting the DEC's commitment to protecting native wildlife and ensuring that regulated processes are adhered to."
"Eastern musk turtles, native to New York, are protected under state law, necessitating permits for any form of sale, possession, or transportation, reinforcing the need for strict wildlife regulations."
