Just found out that the stupid slag that killed the turtles by letting them starve and rot in their tanks for two weeks will not be facing charges after all because "turtles are not recognized as a protected species under the civil animal rights" in my jurisdiction... Well imagine that, if it don't bark or meow you can go cry a river but then they might charge you for "creating a waterway without county permit" ass holes... Sorry

@Marshall though she is probably well deserving of some title however be aware that the name you have given her is a word that may well cause offense to some of our female members .
Was she reported to your version of the RSPCA if not why not and if yes any animal cruelty their remit and they will prosecute if they think they have a case even for tutrles in this country .

sissy that is awful they must be heartless to leave dogs and cats to die in an emppty house, at the moment in the UK there is an avert fo the dogs trust that rescue abandoned dogs there owners rather than pay an elderly dogs vets bills just tie them up by the side of the road and drive off .
This angers Val and I greatly I fear for the human race I really do being cruel to animals is not necessary their are many charlities that they can take them too

I mean no offence as I have only encountered ladies with class on this forum BUT I stand behind the label because sometimes if the shoe fits... no collateral damage was intended

Remember we all have to meet our maker one day and we all have to pay for our sins .The Amish cry when a baby is born and rejoice when you pass to the after life .I can always remember that as a young child, my granny was 1 of the people that made me who I am and made me strong ,but not invincible .

I like Samuel Clemens take that "it's not the verses he does not understand that trouble him, rather it's the ones he does understand"

When you posted the initial report of this I had doubts that any action would be taken by any government agency. Here in Florida, native turtles are not a protected species because of the sheer numbers. In fact, if a turtle needs to be relocated, it must be relocated to private property. Relocation to public land or waterway is a punishable offense. I have been personally told by Florida Fish and Wildlife if a suitable relocation site was not available, my only remaining options were to keep the turtle or euthanize it.

To me when you grow up with no respect for any thing then you grow up to have no respect for even yourself .I never speak about it but there is to much I don't care these days.My parent ,my grandparents never had to touch us kids ,the well known look was enough to scare you .We would sit down and look guilty .Kids these days never learned to have respect for adults .Sad to say but way to true .

Jesus that is bad news any turtles that fell victim of the nija turtle craze and were then abandond in UK ponds and lakes that are found are relocated to either zoos or wildlife parks as well as the odd turtle fan , this is done by the RSPCA even though these creatures have no right being in our ponds .

There is slapping a child now banned in the UK to stop them say running out in the road the there is the violence meeted out to both Mum and Myself I learned life the hard way adopted into a family who couldnt stay together because of my Dad repeated adultery , Mum tried to make things right with marrying my first step dad things were great at first then the beatings started he would appologise the next day but as soon as he took a loss (he was a was an unregisterd unofficial bookie taking bets in the pub from fellow drunkards) .
It got bad sissy, very bad so much so that I took a carving knife out to stab him with after he had beaten Mum and thrown her out when drunk , I made her sit down stairs to wait for him to come home I would have done it eventually she talked me into going to stay with friends ( now her third husband ) after his wife her best friend died .
Thankfully I didnt realize he was alseep in bed sleeping things off (that would have been a prison sentence for me thats for sure .
I hate any form of violence and believe this world to be sick the way people treat people like with the ISIS terrorists killing anyone who is different from them in their beliefs .
However because of all that happened to me as a child I have become strong as an adult
