when the story started i was thinking wow hes lucky he didnt lose a hand... by the time it gets to the end and you find he wants to kill it... sorta wishing he lost both hands trying to catch it.
God, I sure hope he gave the poor thing to the zoo. He obviously knows nothing about snapping turtles. You don't go grabbing and pulling it by the tail, for one thing. I feel for that poor turtle.
How about your assholes go complain about something else Like all the Cat Videos on YouTube. Goddamn hypocrites Once something gets publicity you jump on the band-wagon but when it comes to real-life-day-to-day things there's plenty of things to be doing; rather than trying to impress you tubers with your so called "Humanity"
@imallpissedoff All your comments are sad...You will realize it one day...And that day is getting closer and closer every day!And there will be no gods to forgive u!
Nope, wrong again. If there is no God (which is impossible unless you believe the universe can be its' own cause) then nothing matters anyway, especially your nature worshipping foolishness. If I'm right and God exists(as all the evidence points to as being the case) then you will will not be forgiven and there will be no snapping turtles to save you.
@imallpissedoff You shall not judge! Isn't that in your crappy bible...Then use it if you are such an angel and go suck a cock plz and stop trolling me u little fairy!
@imallpissedoff i am not atheist or an animal worshiping again that's judging...I respect nature or science cause they give us food and material or advancement and those are provable. Is your religion provable no i don't think so.And is your god in africa where people die cause famine or no water i guess is just there for stupid people like u who think that the bible is true.So stfu Jesus troll.And you know nothing about me ...Me i stayed on your stupid god comment you did to me!
You said that nature, the universe, and science are your gods. That makes you an atheist that worships materialism, nature, and science as your gods.
No one can prove the existence or, the non-existence of God but, all the scientific evidence definately points to a Creator and the God of the Bible makes the most sense since Biblical archaeology confirms so many of the places, things, kingdoms, tribes... mentioned in the Bible.
@imallpissedoff Snapping Turtles do not attack people in the water, in fact there is not one documented case of that ever happening. In the water snapping turtles are pretty damn docile and will just swim away from you, its only on land where they pose a threat because they are threatened and snapping is their only defense, so leave it the hell along and there is no danger. I raise and breed Alligator snappers for the state of LA, and most of what you hear about them is false
@imallpissedoff I own around 100 Alligators, some well over 150 pounds and walk among them daily in the water, yep have never been bit once. I know the internet's greatest strength is anonymity, and anyone can say any damn fool thing they want but it also has endless avenues that allow one to research a topic as well. I implore you to do so next time, before posting stupidity. It is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I see, in that case, please deliver me from my medieval ignorance, oh enlightened one. If a person were in that pond and stepped on that snapping turtle it wouldn't bite? The only reason you haven't been bitten is because you're careful and a bit lucky.
And, I never said they attack people, I said they're dangerous.
Maybe next time you'll NOT miss my point and NOT make an ass out of yourself.
Now go play with your dangerous reptiles at the taxpayers' expense.
@imallpissedoff Yep they probably would not bite, and i wouldn't raising them at the tax payers expense if the tax payers weren't idiots who killed them every chance they got till they were endangered animals, and drastic steps had to be taken to ensure their continued survival
No, what's actually going to happen is that you will learn that it is the Creator of nature Who is to be worshipped, not His creation. He hates idolatry because "everything u have and use" comes from God.
In other words, don't worship the gifts, worship the Giver.
@imallpissedoff F u with your bible!My God is nature Universe and science!I don't be leave in fairy tails!And people like you think they can do anything cause god will forgive...Thats demoniac imo!And i don't know why i knew i was going to get a reply like that from a stupid person like u,,,And yeah i know my english is bad but i speak your language and mine that make me even more smarter then you are with your little american god!
LMAO. Fuck YOU with your self righteous ignorance. Nature and science are obviously not God.
"People like me?" How do you know what I do? What a moron, you are.
I'm glad I got this typical of response from a typical materialistic clown like you, it really says a lot about your "humanity" and reveals your angry, hopeless condition. Dumbass hypocrite.
Dude, don't kid yourself, you're NOT smarter than most people you meet.
Lol hes a strong dude picking up 85 pounds with ease, he looks like he wieghs like 175 himself, Lol. such a pretty creature, its a shame people bother them so much, when they are so chill.
my friend has one slightly bigger in his pond. i was fishing on a gazebo and it came up and took my 4 inch lure and snapped it in half like a twig. thankfully he spit the end back out and didn't get hooked. but man i'll never forget it.
Really u are leaving him in a trash can that must be what this guy is cant afford food so he is going to put him in a stew wow what an idiot should leave it alone they were here long before us.
@2001tranzam Thats the only safe way. It s bad to pick up snapping turtles but there neck can stretch toover half there body length o in you hold it on the shell say good bye to your finger
i seen one bigger tahn that the other day....no joke! it looked like the big land turtles...im dead serious, ive seen a lot, but the one i just seen was atleast 110 pounds if not more
@tylerbishel lol..read my comment i just left...i seen a snapper big as the big land turtles...from head to tail it had to be 4 feet long...the tail alone was over a foot...to be honest it kinda scared me, and ive seen plenty of snappers
@maddyjean28 are you fucking stupid? he is handling the turtle the way a professional should and would have....you grab the snappers by the tail it doesn't hurt them.
@GuitarBoyRockingOut I am a professional Breeder of Snapping turtles and yeah, picking them up by their tailed does indeed hurt their spines, that is fact. the proper way to hold a Snapper is by grabbing it on the back of its shells near the pockets where its back fett or and angling it away from your body
Its a nice looking turtle, but its not 85 pounds, and I really doubt its as old as they say. Its probably a male, could be as young as 10, and around 20-30 pounds max. This poor guy was in his prime. And he wouldn't mess with anybody as long as they don't take him out of the water. He just wanted to be left alone, poor turtle.
I don't really hold anything against the guy for being ignorant, but it is sad that the news station only disseminated that ignorance.
lol little white boy, ur a tough guy arnt u. almost all countys do that, just that yanks have the biggest reputation 4 doing cruel stuff like that cuz they love hunting everything, when u see vids of hunters killing animals that dont diserve it almost all of them would b yanks, so u cant exactly say that america is more "animal friendly" than brittan and australia. any way im done arguing about this. its obvious u dont have ur head screwed on right so i will leave it at that.
@sylar1989 Sounds more like the truth hurts and your running away cause as i said the proof of animal cruelty is shown on both sides of the pond. And assuming this guy did kill the turtle the fact remains he ate it which is natural unlike collecting his shell or skin as a trophy which europeans are well know for doing.
@MuslimApostate sigh, well if u think thats natural theres something wrong with you, look bellow pretty well ever commont is against this moron eating the turtle, so im pretty sure that im not running from anything cuz theres obviousely lots of people to back me up looks like ur the only 1 that thinks theres nothing wrong with this, pretty strange isnt it? eating it is just as bad as killing it 4 its shell, its not harming anything so y eat it.
@sylar1989 care to explain how there the same? I don't see aligators who kill snapping turtles just so they can hang its shell on a wall? Mankind are animals too and in the wild its kill or be killed. And in case you diddn't hear they stated the turtle was old. Assuming he did throw it back how much time left would the turtle have before it dies or is unable to defend itself from a predator? In the wild it is natural for predators to pick off the sick and the old. Humans are predators mate.
@MuslimApostate cuz there both crule, u dont just go take an animal from its surroundings stuff it in a bin take it out and drag it around tormenting it with a stick, then eventually eat it, how hard is it to buy meat at a shop instead of taking this poor thing from its habitat. at least it could have its last days in its natural habitat than b taken and tormented. the aligator snaping turtle has very few enemies and they spend alot of there time underwater wating 4 food, so it would probably
@sylar1989 whatever mate. It diddn't go to waste if it was eaten. And to me thats more natural then a european trophy hunter collecting its shell as a sovenier to hang on a wall which is not natural. If you feel differently well thats your opinion.
@MuslimApostate lmao, kill or be killed? Was this guy in danger and they just casually did a news report? If he was starving he wouldn't even care to show it off, he wouldn't have told anyone and just ate it. Come on..
For cryin' out LOUD!!! They want to put him in the stew? Let the poor thing go...there aren't that many wonders left in the world, or any creatures that we can marvel at, and it's even worse when the first thing someone wants to do is cook the poor thing or mount it on the wall.
@sylar1989 right like it takes a yank to kill an animal. And eating it is better then killing it for his shell like what you eurotrash trophy hunters like to do.
@MuslimApostate no because only a hillbilly yank would want to eat somthing like that, not even a pest and the only thing he wants to do with it is eat it, yanks would eat shit if u gave it to them. hunting is way more popular in america than australia so dont go saying we r worse than u, plus we only kill animals that r pests like pigs goats and roos, yanks kill anything thats big and scary like bears and moose just to big note themselves.
@sylar1989 yeah my ass! Listen little white boy ive lived in both australia as well as the uk for brief periods of my life and i saw for myself animal parts in both countries collected by rich white big game hunters who go to poor nations, pay off the local wildlife patrol to look the other way, and have at it with there wildlife all for the sake of collecting there heads, horns, claws etc. Hell search for lion hunting and you'll see a video of a couple british thugs shooting to death a lion.
@sylar1989 and no i'm not american by birth and yes if you search youtube for lion hunting your bound to run into a particularly sick vid of some british trophy hunters killing a male lion. The proof is there for all to see.
i know ya wont believe me but i seen one of these damn things big enough for me to ride around on (not that i would ever go near it) found it in algonquin on mizzy lake trail, im telling you it must have been like 300-350 pounds, i was like "I GOTTA CALL GUINESS!!!!!" but i had no reception lol
holy shit!!! dont go near that thing..i got a 10 lber up in my garage now..maybe 15 lbs.. he's a fiesty lil thing. imagine this big thing snappn at ya!! he snapped a stick right in half
yeh turtle shur doo tast gewd. i pefere squirle but the meet is a bit stringy. rowd kill is bess caus da meet is alredy pulverised by a loda cars goin over it back an forth.
I believe snapping turtles is the only creature capable of controlling, if not possibly wiping out the entire Northern snakehead population. Wake up folks!!! We need them back.
in my friend's pond there's this snapper that has to be at least 70 pounds. it's head is as big and round as my fist! it took a huge chunk out of my rubber lure. thank god it didn't get the hook. we all call him King. and once while i was fishing, i caught the bottom of the pond, when i pulled really hard, it came loose. once i pulled the lure up i saw a cloud and a big thing come up. it looked like a snapper. but it was HUGE (120 lbs maybe). so today we just call it "the creature". what was it?
@gameboy3800 , wouldn't a turtle of such size (70 lbs) have a much bigger head than your fist unless it's an alligator snapper, i have a common snapper skull that came from a 30+ pounder and it's the size of my fist, minus the flesh.
85 :D I saw a 50 pounder one time same shell size only the people feed it hotdogs and stuff for a few years to get it to 50 it was almost round it was so fat.
it was so funny how he was just poking the turtle with a stick in its eye omg i was dying when i saw that... this guy is hella cool, "probably put him in a stew..." haha good job man
They find snappers with muskey balls and arrowheads in their shells. Way older than 80 years! And I work with an 85 pound turtle and he's 3 or 4 times this guy's size.
ya that thing isnt 85 pounds and he should let the great turtle spirit go unless hes gonna eat it because there is a place for all of gods creatures and that is right by the mashed potatos
There is no way that turtle weighs 85 pounds. Check out the video on my channel of my dad catching a 25 pounder. The turtle in this video is about that same size. This is definately a big snapper, just not 85 pounds.
It's big, but there's no way that's 85 pounds unless it has about 45 pounds of lead weights stuffed in it's gut. Tell you a secret, turtles can live much more then 80 years. Try about 380 years. I've caught lots of 85 pound turtles, alligator snapping turtles and that's about a big 40 pound common snapping turtle! Nice try though to whoever ran with the 85 pound story.
@HeadlessHorseman1234 - Seriously!? it's a snapping turtle, I think there are other "magnificent creatures" we can put in the zoo. I saw they fry it up.
i walked through swamps as a kid in ontario and stepped on a few turtles and never got bit. It seems they leave bigger things alone unless you pull them aut of the water or realy mess with them. Dont eat that guy cause im sure theres many turtle lovers who will give him a better home then a garbage can. god get that guy a old kiddy pool for the time being. beautiful turtle though
when the story started i was thinking wow hes lucky he didnt lose a hand... by the time it gets to the end and you find he wants to kill it... sorta wishing he lost both hands trying to catch it.

Assuming he did throw it back how much time left would the turtle have before it dies or is unable to defend itself from a predator? In the wild it is natural for predators to pick off the sick and the old. Humans are predators mate.

@MuslimApostate cuz there both crule, u dont just go take an animal from its surroundings stuff it in a bin take it out and drag it around tormenting it with a stick, then eventually eat it, how hard is it to buy meat at a shop instead of taking this poor thing from its habitat. at least it could have its last days in its natural habitat than b taken and tormented. the aligator snaping turtle has very few enemies and they spend alot of there time underwater wating 4 food, so it would probably

sylar1989 1 year ago
@sylar1989 whatever mate. It diddn't go to waste if it was eaten. And to me thats more natural then a european trophy hunter collecting its shell as a sovenier to hang on a wall which is not natural. If you feel differently well thats your opinion.

@MuslimApostate lmao, kill or be killed? Was this guy in danger and they just casually did a news report? If he was starving he wouldn't even care to show it off, he wouldn't have told anyone and just ate it. Come on..

For cryin' out LOUD!!! They want to put him in the stew? Let the poor thing go...there aren't that many wonders left in the world, or any creatures that we can marvel at, and it's even worse when the first thing someone wants to do is cook the poor thing or mount it on the wall.

sylar1989 1 year ago
@sylar1989 right like it takes a yank to kill an animal. And eating it is better then killing it for his shell like what you eurotrash trophy hunters like to do.
MuslimApostate 1 year ago
@MuslimApostate no because only a hillbilly yank would want to eat somthing like that, not even a pest and the only thing he wants to do with it is eat it, yanks would eat shit if u gave it to them. hunting is way more popular in america than australia so dont go saying we r worse than u, plus we only kill animals that r pests like pigs goats and roos, yanks kill anything thats big and scary like bears and moose just to big note themselves.
sylar1989 1 year ago
@sylar1989 yeah my ass! Listen little white boy ive lived in both australia as well as the uk for brief periods of my life and i saw for myself animal parts in both countries collected by rich white big game hunters who go to poor nations, pay off the local wildlife patrol to look the other way, and have at it with there wildlife all for the sake of collecting there heads, horns, claws etc. Hell search for lion hunting and you'll see a video of a couple british thugs shooting to death a lion.
MuslimApostate 1 year ago
@sylar1989 and no i'm not american by birth and yes if you search youtube for lion hunting your bound to run into a particularly sick vid of some british trophy hunters killing a male lion. The proof is there for all to see.

in my friend's pond there's this snapper that has to be at least 70 pounds. it's head is as big and round as my fist! it took a huge chunk out of my rubber lure. thank god it didn't get the hook. we all call him King. and once while i was fishing, i caught the bottom of the pond, when i pulled really hard, it came loose. once i pulled the lure up i saw a cloud and a big thing come up. it looked like a snapper. but it was HUGE (120 lbs maybe). so today we just call it "the creature". what was it?
gameboy3800 1 year ago
@gameboy3800 , wouldn't a turtle of such size (70 lbs) have a much bigger head than your fist unless it's an alligator snapper, i have a common snapper skull that came from a 30+ pounder and it's the size of my fist, minus the flesh.

They find snappers with muskey balls and arrowheads in their shells. Way older than 80 years! And I work with an 85 pound turtle and he's 3 or 4 times this guy's size.

There is no way that turtle weighs 85 pounds. Check out the video on my channel of my dad catching a 25 pounder. The turtle in this video is about that same size. This is definately a big snapper, just not 85 pounds.

lizardman890 3 years ago
It's big, but there's no way that's 85 pounds unless it has about 45 pounds of lead weights stuffed in it's gut. Tell you a secret, turtles can live much more then 80 years. Try about 380 years. I've caught lots of 85 pound turtles, alligator snapping turtles and that's about a big 40 pound common snapping turtle! Nice try though to whoever ran with the 85 pound story.

Dont eat that guy cause im sure theres many turtle lovers who will give him a better home then a garbage can. god get that guy a old kiddy pool for the time being. beautiful turtle though
