A man driving through the Archibald Research Facility nabbed a gopher turtle that had been monitored and studied since the 1980s as part of a 5 decade research project on the tortoises. He chopped off the monitoring device. Speeding away he got into a fight with his girlfriend who maybe thought he was to cheap to buy KFC. 911 was called and the tortoise was returned and man in big trouble ! Interesting article, I guess during the Great Depression Gopher Tortoises were nick named "Hoover Chickens" because so many desperate folks were tossing them into the stew pots.
