Massive Leatherback Turtle Caught In South-West, Nigeria (Video) by nlfpmod(mod): 8:37pm On Jan 18, 2025

This video of a leatherback turtle caught most likely in one of the Ìlàjẹ́ communities is going round. I know there's poverty and hardship in the land but we need to protect our wildlife.

If these leatherback turtles go extinct, these same people will feel it most. You know why? Majority of them are fishermen. Leatherback turtles feed mostly on jellyfish. So, they control their population. If jellyfish population is left uncontrolled, their population will explode and they will compete with fishes for their food on a large scale. When fishes have no food, their population decreases.

All our actions/inactions have impacts and consequences on nature. Guess what? We're part of nature.

Tainkyu ✌🏾

Why kill something as rare as this? And they're not even scared to eat the turtle's meat.
