South Carolina man convicted of turtle smuggling charged with turtle abuse in Georgia_我的网站

一 |     MACON, Ga. -- A South Carolina man previously convicted of smuggling protected turtles between the United States and Hong Kong faces new allegations of turtle-related crimes in Georgia. Bibb County sheriff's deputies arrested and jailed Steven Verren Baker, 43, of Holly Hill, South Carolina, on Tuesday and charged him with 15 felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.No lawyer was listed in Georgia court records for Baker, who remained jailed Friday with bail set at $8,250. His South Carolina lawyer has since died.Deputies were responding to a call about an abandoned dog in Macon when they noticed turtles being held in a basin nestled in a pile of trash, WMAZ-TV reports. They wrote in an incident report that a woman identified as Baker's mother told deputies that Baker had left the turtles with her about two months ago. The mother agreed to hand the turtles over to deputies, saying she had been unable to get her son to retrieve them.A veterinarian said the turtles were suffering from long-term malnutrition, bacterial and fungal infections, sepsis and shell deformities.The turtles included 11 rare albino red-eared sliders, one brown red-eared slider and two pink-bellied side necks. There was also a Chinese golden thread turtle, which is considered endangered in the wild, but is legal to breed in captivity.Baker pleaded guilty in 2018 to one count of conspiracy to smuggle wildlife in federal court in South Carolina after postal inspectors at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York found 46 turtles concealed among noodles and candy in four packages in early 2016. The turtles would be placed in socks and shipped through the mail in boxes labeled “snacks.”Five other men pleaded guilty in the South Carolina court case, but officials described Baker as the ringleader. Federal officials say Baker was sending turtles from the United States to Hong Kong, as well as receiving turtles from Hong Kong. It's illegal to trade turtles abroad without a permit when they are protected by a treaty called the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.Baker served more than two years in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release that ended in April 2022.Baker was also ordered to forfeit $263,225, which is what officials said the turtles were worth.。    专题：精准营养产业大会 精准蛋白营养 赋能全生命周期健康 2026年8月21-23日，第二届精准营养产业大会在黑龙江哈尔滨举行，大会主题为“精准蛋白营养，赋能全生命周期健康”。香驰控股董事长、总裁刘兆辉在论坛上表示，在精准营养产业快速发展的当下，蛋白消费市场正在发生根本性变化，行业关注点已从传统的含量、价格、品质稳定性，全面转向功能精准、场景细分，蛋白产业正式告别通用化发展阶段，进入精细化、定制化发展新时代。　　他结合市场一线变化指出，当前不同人群的蛋白营养需求高度分化，场景化特征愈发明显：运动人群重点关注蛋白增肌、体能恢复效果；中老年群体更加看重骨骼健康、肠道养护相关营养价值；中青年人群聚焦降脂、控重、控糖等代谢健康需求；现代女性则延伸出营养调理、肌肤养护等复合需求。“如今的蛋白不再是面向所有人的通用原料，而是需要匹配不同人群、不同场景，甚至能够提供情绪价值的功能性营养原料。”刘兆辉说。　　针对国产植物蛋白产业未来发展方向，刘兆辉提出，产业核心升级路径在于从基础原料向功能化、定制化高端原料转型。他表示，我国拥有得天独厚的非转基因大豆资源优势，东北黑土地孕育的优质大豆、富硒大豆是国产蛋白产业的核心战略资源，产业发展不能局限于粗加工和基础原料输出，必须深度挖掘国产大豆的独特功能价值。  展望行业未来，刘兆辉表示，中国拥有优质大豆、奶源等核心资源，以及成熟的加工产业体系和创新基础。未来行业需持续深耕细分赛道，把国产蛋白资源做深、做细、做透，依托品种改良、技术创新、场景定制，打造适配全人群、全生命周期的精准营养解决方案，推动国产动植物蛋白产业高质量发展　　新浪声明：所有会议实录均为现场速记整理，未经演讲者审阅，新浪网登载此文出于传递更多信息之目的，并不意味着赞同其观点或证实其描述。责任编辑：李思阳。
