    Re: One lucky box turtle, and one stupid human!

    You got the One Lucky Turtle part right, but it should have been One Cruel Human.

    When you consider that if the tree hadn't stopped it, it likely would have reached altitudes where the temps would have been brutal if not unsurvivable to a CB animal. If it where fortunate enough to come down on land alive, it would not be able to manuever with all of the entanglement of the balloons and riggings. If it would have come down in the water, then who knows. The video said they saw where it came from so I hope they get the person/s responsible and prosecute to the fullest extent.

    Reading things like this makes me wonder why the definition of "Humanity" is considered a positive connotation.
