Nooooo. U can snap pics with it then release the beautiful creature back to the ocean. Even though there is hunger in the land, we shouldn't kill and eat everything. Let's preserve a bit of nature for our kids and future generations.

Wildfire conservatives should educate the masses

That’s a leatherback turtle. An endangered species with less than 40,000 left in the wild.

I hope they didn’t kill it.

In Nigeria, once an animal is "caught", e don be for am be that.

That's a leather back turtle.


I wonder what those Bayelsans later did to it.
I think they should be awarded if the let that creature to go. The saying "hunger is in the land" is real; it takes a miracle for an animal to go back to its family in one piece if a hungry Nigerian sights it.

caught?
Like the turtle has done any wrong and it has been apprehended.
You invade someone's habitat and you still tag the headline "see the turtle caught"

You people should not eat that thing or else...
