In the full video the guy in blue dungarees bites the head off the turtle! So all this talk about no animals being hurt or killed is just red-neck delusion and lies.

[MsFrenchPetal]

Did anyone else notice how happy she was while she smiled talking about ramming a finger up and raping a turtles ass? Stupid redneck hillbillies.

Next year, replace the turtles with the event organizers and their employees.

This event is totally disrespectful to innocent creatures bodily integrity. They should NOT be removed from their habitat to begin with... Especially for something so inane as this hillbilly farce used as entertainment. This totally abuses any type of "contract" man has as caretaker of nonhumans. It violates every pretense of being a "rational" species that we attempt to live as. Please humans - EVOLVE!

We should send them the other videos that they failed to show the news. The one where they take a knife out to kill the turtle that latches onto the hillbillies finger. Or how about the empty tub of "water" that the Turtle is in where kids are teasing him? Or Send the part of the video that shows this Neanderthal biting the Turtles head off.

@rickatica Yes those are all cruel things, and we do protest them, just not on this page/video, since this has nothing to do with aquariums and zoos - duh!

[djbethell]

@rickatica Oh dear... You had some friends there? LOL! Well, we have all heard the lies of those who attend this sadistic hell-hole. Seems you're the only one on here daft enough to think anyone is going to fall for your fallacies. Happy you are not going to argue with me anymore as you are right, you are wasting your time, the evidence of this brutality is there for all to see. A man who slams a turtle to the ground, rips it violently out of it's shell, (it's home) and then kisses it!?! LMAO!

[rickatica]

@djbethell I have watched it over and over, at 00.35 you can't even see the turtle , you are just letting your imagination run wild, he kissed the turtle on the head. I had friends that were there and seen it, you can't really make out what they are doing in this video there are too many people in the way!! I'm not going to argue with you anymore, because it is evident that I would be wasting my time, that turtle is more intelligent than you are!!!

[djbethell]

@Talzhemir1 The world is now watching and is completely appalled. This shit has got to end. Once again America is looking terrible in everyone's eyes!

[djbethell]

@rickatica Wow! You truly are stupid!

[djbethell]

@rickatica Is this somehow a justification for you to torture turtles?

Seriously, you know absolutely nothing about all the other animal and human rights groups we are all involved in. You are so uneducated!

[djbethell]

@rickatica Go see for yourself. At 00:35 /watch?v=qTqNh3GDofE that gormless neanderthal rips the head of the turtle with his teeth. Deny it all you like, but it's there for all to see.
