Not an “animal rights” loon by any stretch, but when you are in a animal’s natural turf, assuming no aggression, we are the guests.

If a man can’t dodge a “lunging” turtle, he shouldn’t be out and about. What an idiot.

If his shell is his home then should he also be charged with breaking and entering?

Trying to imagine a turtle lunging at him makes me think of the killer bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

We hooked a turtle once....in Canada....yes, they do lunge....and they’ll scare the sh** out of you. Once it’s loose...I agree....nail it.

Turtles are surprisingly fast and dangerous.
They can reach halfway around their body with a neck that is far longer than you might think, and they move it lightning fast.
Try to grab one the wrong way and you will lose some fingers or even a hand
I am almost willing to give this gy the benefit of the doubt if he willingly came forward and explained what happend- I do NOT like to be around them and I would kill one too, if it attacked.

Yes, the 'maroon' is an idiot.
I ordered Turtle Soup from the waitress and told her to --
"Make it snappy!"

Murderer! Jail him! No mercy!
Now, can we do the same for people who attack and kill humans?
