Axle is considered a Game animals, just like a deer. You cannot own a deer period, but there is a slightly different law with the turtle.. Kids pick them up & take them home as pets. If this happens then you can keep the turtle.. you cannot set it free, as thats illegal.. you cannot eat it, as thats illegal & you cannot sell it, as thats illegal... so you either give it to a rehab centre, who'll kill it, or you keep it.

I knew what Axle was when I got him. I was 17 I think, so I was a child & got to keep him + he was sick & would have died, so law officials have left me alone... They know I have him & as long as hes not causing ANY problems, I can keep him... so if he eats a neighbouts cat, THATS when the law can step in & kick my butt... But hes never outside alone, or in water.. hes very calm & friendly & I'm never too far from him. The worst thing is that he gets out of his pond & trashes my room
