TV chef under fire over turtle recipe

From an article posted on Dutch News:

Television chef Herman den Blijker has come under fire from the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WFN) for featuring a recipe involving sea turtles in a tv cooking competition, the Telegraaf reports.

During the show couples had to cook a dish using green sea turtles which had been bred in captivity on the Cayman Islands.

The turtles are a protected species and the WFN says it is inappropriate to suggest it is ok to eat the them, even if they are farmed.
