Heres hoping no little turtles go up anyones butt

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I guess he finally outgrew the gerbils. Small rodents everywhere breathe a sigh of relief.

[MortMan]

I thought his specialty was hatching hamsters...

[Billthedrill]

Sea turtles, huh?

“...and shamanic ceremonies.”

The way Minneapolis-St Paul (and the suburbs) are turning out, I won’t need to go to Mexico to see one of those.

[SmokingJoe]

Richard Gere is irrelevant as are turtles in Mexico.

[tumblindice]

No federal funds or small, furry rodents were involved in the making of this lefty tortoise circle jerk.

(They’re lying.)

[Jamestown1630]

That’s not Richard Gere.

Hamster farming would be more appropriate.

“ecologically minded real estate moguls “

We had to bulldoze the forest to save it.

They won’t “develop the coastline in a way that doesn’t make the locals hate them” unless they allow public access to the ocean. The first thing all these developers do is put up a big wall to keep anyone out except the owners.

Under Mexican law, the beaches are public property, and developers are required to provide public beach access every 1/2 kilometer. Of course none do this, and they pay off the state and federal regulators to look the other way.

This is another classic example of the rich building themselves an isolated enclave and making themselves out as heroes in the process. Complete BS.

Change the turtle egg status as a delicacy in Latin America and there will be plenty of turtles. After the females lay their eggs the local go out en masse and dig them up to cook them.
