Ok, that honestly made me ill. It takes one sick person to do something like that to a turtle.

Please allow me to clarify, I do NOT think all golfers are A**Hats. I do think there is a large contingent that are nice people. There is also a large contingent that doesn't think they will actually hurt anyone by having some seemingly harmless fun (didn't really think the consequences through, doesn't excuse the behavior). Then there are a few really bad ones like the person in the article ruin it for everyone.

A bunch of gopher tortoise in fl were killed because of a shoppin mall being built, they didn't even remove them from there dens. It's not only golf courses it's just everywhere we are building we take away from tortoises and turtles.

Just saying that they are not really environmentally sound, even though they look like a decent place for humans and wildlife to share

I live in Wisconsin and when I saw this on the news it deeply sadened me. I couldn't imagine ever doing such a thing to an innocent creature. I can't wait until those responsible are caught.

yes she was. And they said that she was trying to find a place to lay eggs when somebody beat her up.

The good news is the golf club is cooperating and providing the names of all the people on the course at this time. Police should be able to narrow it down and apprehend the person or persons responsible.
