REWARD OFFERED IN TURTLE BEATING
The Global Conservation Group of Watertown is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the beating of a snapping turtle. It happened at the Delbrook Golf Course in Delavan on June 10 between 7:30 and 9:30 a.m. The female turtle, looking for a place to lay her eggs, was found lying in the sand in a bunker with holes in its shell. It was also struck in the right eye, a wound which appeared to have been from a golf club. The turtle will have surgery today and has about a 40-60% chance of survival. Anyone with information about this case should call the DNR hotline at 1-800-TIP-WDNR or 1-800-847-9367. Callers can remain anonymous.

I hope that when they find this person, they do the same thing to him with a golf club. For the turtles sake.

Golf used to be known as "The Gentleman's Game"....

If there is a less ecologically sound use of land than a golf course, I don't know what it is. You basically have a large area monoculture where tons of chemicals are used every year to keep it looking like indoor/outdoor carpeting so that a bunch of old guys can dress funny and pretend they're exercising by driving around on the grass with little electic clown cars while whacking at a little ball with a stick.

And people think keeping reptiles is weird.

I keep thinking about this, the thing gets me is it was an adult, doing this is never right but for a grown person to be so heartless a d hateful, to a creature that is harmless.....I can't post the thoughts that are in my head.....

I just seen on facebook that this turtle has passed

from the reptile report
It deeply saddens me to report that the female snapper who gained national notoriety after being assaulted on a gold course has died.

I spoke with the club manager today and they've informed me that the ledger keeping track of who was playing that day has been turned over to authorities. I requested a copy but was denied. Tomorrow we'll call over to Wisc. DNR to make sure they are doing everything possible to investigate this abuse.

Godspeed little girl.
