Can you sell turtles in Delaware?

The FDA prohibited the distribution and sale of chelonians (turtles and tortoises) with shells 4 inches in length or less in 1970 after a quarter million infants and small children were diagnosed with having turtle-associated salmonellosis. The agency believed that turtles with shells larger than 4 inches do not pose the same threat since youngsters would not likely try to fit them into their mouths. The FDA asks that anyone who has knowledge of sales or distribution of turtles less than 4 inches in length to report the location and circumstances of the sales to the nearest FDA office.www.GeneralExotics.com

Is it illegal to sell vintage leopard fur?

YES!! Very illegal! Leopard is an animal that is protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973. No matter when your item was produced ( even 100 years ago) it is illegal for you to sell it across state lines or internationally. The punishment can be up to 10 years in jail and up to $500,000 in fines. If the item was manufactured pre-1970, you are allowed to sell the item only if you have an original receipt, and it must stay within your state. No receipt? Illegal to sell any time, any place.
