"Billy's new pet"

Your friend Billy invites you over after school to see his new pet. It is a bog turtle. He bought it at the pet shop. You decided to look up the species in your science books and on the Internet. You discover that the bog turtle is on the threatened species list. What do you do?

  Environmental laws  
  • Would you tell your friend about what you learned and let him handle it?
  • Would you report him without talking to him?
  • What law may Billy and/or the pet shop be violating?
  • Which agency would be able to help you handle the situation?
