THE BURNABY TURTLES

If I lived in Burnaby and I had any sort of sporting team I would most definitely name them The Burnaby Turtles.

If I lived in Burnaby and I had any sort of sporting team I would most definitely name them The Burnaby Turtles. Not only does it have a nice ring to it but it also rings true, as pet stores are not allowed to sell turtles in the City of Vancouver - only in Burnaby - so that's where all the legit Turtles come from. You gotta smuggle em in from Metrotown. This is the fact that I know and I know that it has something to do with turtles spreading salmonella poisoning and the city passing some sortof bylaw a long time ago against them to protect folks from themselves. Any turtle lovers out there know the full details? My sketchy speculation/hearsay simply won't do on this one.
