I've heard that they call it road hockey, they try to just barley hit them and shoot them off the road.

That is so sickening. How could people do that, just sick. That's why I like animals more then most people. Look how beautiful they are.

Here in Mississippi they have what is called" good ol boys" they hunt all year round and get a kick out of killing anything. I have some at work and when they hear me talk about turtles they just brag about hitting them. It's gotten to were I actually tell them instead of hitting them to bring it to me and I'll give them $20 .. I try to find out the area they found him to release them, and just pray I set them somewhere safe
