Turtles are lovely animals, unfortnatly they are being hunted down for their shell.
Until recently, their sucess was apparent as turtles were being washed in on the beach. It is a shame that turtles just won’t be left alone. On beaches around the world, guards have to stand by the beaches 24/7 to check no one has stolen any turtle eggs, that is how bad it is.
I know a Hawksbill Turtle who was washed up on the beach in Bermuda, When she was found, she had a hook shaped cut in her flipper, the rescuers guessed she could have been in a fishing accident. The turtle is know happy in a safe, natural place with other turtles.

Sadly, the turtles cannot swim freely anymore. Sometimes, a shell isn’t enough to protect them.
