In summer 2009, Kate traveled with Oceana to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where she witnessed leatherbacks nesting and hatching, swam with green sea turtles, and learned about the many threats sea turtles face.

@HabetisBonaDeum She didn't say kill did she? And it's very likely that many turtles are caught over and over again in fishing hooks and other junk in the ocean. Also, the 1.4 billion fishing hooks number could be an estimate of what is found catching and/or killing all different kinds of sea life, not just turtles. She perhaps says that number and not the number actually affecting just turtles to really show the gravity of the situation. It made me realize so many other animals are affected too

@psychomafioso "1.4 billion fishing hooks and other gear catch hundreds of thousands of sea turtles every year." Is she telling us it takes about 14,000 fishing hooks to kill one turtle? That doesn't sound correct.

@Ardock

She said "Over 1.4 BILLION fishing hooks and other gear..." Did you think she said 1.4 fishing hooks?? Her facts are indeed nice because they are correct. Pay attention to the video before you post next time.
