davichin 18 Posted November 9, 2009 Canary Islands. There is a beach where some (between two and four) turtles usually live being very confident with divers and then this happen.... What can we do with these "people"? Tomorrow some people will go to try and catch the poor animal....: Picture is not mine (was sent to a friend by the environment department): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocha 0 Posted November 10, 2009 This wouldn't surprise me if it was coming from some place in Africa or Southeast Asia, but Spain?! What is that? A turtle that someone speared... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deepsea 0 Posted November 10, 2009 So sad to see, hopefully the wound is superficial enough so it can be removed and the turtle will be okay. We released a turtle last year that had been hit over the head and was in bad shape. After a year, the turtle is doing well and see on a regular basis. Good luck and hope for the best outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scubaseven 1 Posted December 27, 2009 So sad to see, hopefully the wound is superficial enough so it can be removed and the turtle will be okay. Looks to have penetrated the muscle, so should be a simple extraction and all is well. At least that is something. I have concluded that human beings are very, very strange animals...and perhaps not as intelligent as we flatter ourselves into believing! At least you are intelligent enough to realize this. Many are not. Cheers to all over the holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamhanlon 0 Posted December 27, 2009 It's funny how we see ourselves as being "superior" to animals I hope the turtle can be rescued and treated. If anyone finds out who did it, I'd love to go and do some spear "fishing" of my own. Adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hani Amir 0 Posted December 30, 2009 Well atleast thank god the asshat's aim was as bad as his intentions. My girlfriend says that humans are more like a parasite or virus in the sense that we just breed, spread and exhaust resources without fitting into any cycle whatsoever. Disagree if you want but I doubt the world will be a very beautiful place a 100 years from now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
