ensign_ro 0 Posted June 21, 2005 hey every one, i havent posted in really forever.. lots of you probably dont even know who i am now, but that doesnt matter, im posting because i have recently become a turtle owner (hes the cutest little thing! i found him injured on my back steps!) and i have been learning many things about turtle related things and i have come across some very disturbing information, those of you who arent big turtle fans wont care much but in asia turtles are being sold as food. thats not such a big deal, i mewan everyones heard of turtle soup and all, but these turtles are being caught from the wild and over bred for the sole perpose of being eaten, some of htem are even being threatened with extinction witht he rate things are going! http://www.nytts.org/asianturtlecrisis.html wanring, this contains some graphic pictures (dont worry they are all in links so you dont have to see them, but if youw ant to see a poor turtle being butchered alive you can scroll down to the very bottom and click those links ) and if any ones interested in seeing my grumpy yet very cute baby turtle heres some pics! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/lit...e/turtle009.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/lit...e/turtle007.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
