There's a special place for Turtle Heaven for you.
My dear sister Whip was on the scene of the most unfortunate nature this afternoon. A reckless, ignorant, and mean-spirited truck driver purposely ran over a 20-year old snapping turtle --which happened to be pregnant--in the driveway of her office. Under the advice of an animal control officer, she was able to salvage a few of the turtle's eggs and buried them as directed under a few feet of dirt. Mother Nature willing, some of the babies will survive. Thank you, Whip.

Waste of fucking

Oh. My. God. What an asshole.
When I was in college, I spent a summer detassling corn (yeah, I'm a city guy-- I had no idea what it was, but needed money for school badly). One day we came across a snapping turtle. Believ it or not, we get a fair amount of wildlife in the city-- just yesterday I saw three deer-- but I'd never seen a snapping turtle up close and personal. Pretty cool. We left him unharmed.
That same day, we also came across someone's little marijuana patch. Maybe he was there to guard it. :)
Why are some people like that? There are assholes like that out in farming country by my mom's house that swerve to try and hit cats/kittens that are too close to the road. Those people are the ones that turn out to be serial killers.
I like to think there is a special room in hell for those type of people.
i called animal control and the guy was written up.
Why would they "purposely" run over a turtle? Disgusting. Doesn't that qualify as animal cruelty in those parts?
Good on ya, Whip.
