Any verson-violating the pro- visions of this section shall be punished by a fine not to ex- ceed one hundred dollars or imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed sixty days, or both such fine and im- Prisonment, in the discretion of the court.” This law simply makes it a supervisor the {punishable offense to molest a‘! jus’ always have hated teach- | loggerhead or green turtle while €TS- out of the water or on the | i | j Hy The statute is so worded that an | offender must be caught in the! act of butchering or molesting a: turtle on the sands or beaches! ‘and then it is necessary to prove | ithat the turtle was captured out | of the water and on the beach. | | According to the best informa- | tion the department has com-} iPiled, green turtles rarely, if ever, } come ashore in Florida.
