Leatherback Turtle found dismembered

Another example of the cruelty done to animals. This article found yesterday in a local newspaper illustrates how abusive people are are to indefensive animals. The leatherback turtle is on the endangered species list and it was most likely killed when it came ashore to lay eggs.

Its head and frontal fins were cut off

 Whoever committed this crime will be facing the Federal Justice. I really hope that people are brave enough to call the authorities and lead them to the criminals that killed this beautiful and harmless animal.
