  • Science usually discourages human motivation or emotion being in animals?

    I wouldn't say that, there's actually been scientific research done that's more or less proven canines and other animals of similar intelligence levels experience emotions to some degree, probably nowhere near as strongly as we do... but I'd say strongly enough.

    Just wiki or google emotions in animals

  • Heartbreaking on so many levels. Kuhena, I'm so sorry for your loss - your tenderness at Honey Girls memorial has touched my heart. Honey Girl, RIP - no human can ever hurt you again and the ones who did this to you will stand trial for it some day.

  • Anyone treating these innocent animals with extreame cruelty should be treated with such extreame cruelty themselves, i hope the bastards suffer in hell for destroying nature.

  • Very moving story... This is why I am vegan... Animals deserve to be happy too...

  • Awwwww

  • i hope the person who killed the turtle get his ass BEAT...

  • Do they tag the turtles? Is that how they know their names?

  • Thanks for posting this. Elephants grieve, why not turtles? End the slaughter now!

  • wo w I'm about to cry...as much as I even think about the taste of turtle soup. wish I could change the channel. seen ducks do this too.

  • ): I feel bad for the male turtle the person that killed Honey Girl is evil!
