WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES: Slaughter of turtles in Bali. The turtle's plastron is sliced & ripped open, internal organs removed, blood scooped out, skinned & head cut off. The turtle was alive & struggling during part of the process. To help stop the slaughter and save the species, part of this footage was broadcast on the BBC in "Final Chance to Save Sea Turtles" hosted by Charlotte Uhlenbroek. Filmed in1996 for "Deeps Asia - Journeys to the Oceanic Frontiers" by John Wong. http://tropix-blue.blogspot.com
I understand that many people feel strongly about this (it wasn't easy for my team to film, edit or watch the full 20 minutes of footage either) and we appreciate comments supporting an end to the slaughter, but if you want your comments to be published, please refrain from bad language or racist comments. Thank you.
