Default i think this is criminal.

i just looked at a website that was on the top of this forum on my computer and it has baby turtles for sale for $50.00. they have no eyes. they are bred specifically for no eyes!! 2/$90.00 that is disturbing to me... any opinions? the website is Seltrut Inc. Turtles, Land Turtles, Tortoises and Supplies. i tried to post a pic but it didn't work.
