way to go... it won’t be remembered as romantic ever again!
Aw, how sweet! A romantic evening they can always remember.....”Honey, remember when we killed all those baby turtles?”
That guy will be in PRISON longer than any murderer! Unless he’s a PROTECTED MINORITY.
What a shame.
Hey, just trying to make lemonade here, but...turtle soup?
There’s really no excuse, unless of course the bride and groom are environmentalists.
He should immediately undergo gender reassignment surgery. As a married “lesbian” couple they will receive not only protected status, but be absolved of any and all wrong doing.
Don’t believe it, how many would have died anyway?
Pray for America
But what do I know, the only thing I know about turtles is that the really big snappers here in Michigan make great stew...........
Whoopsie!
This stunt was so dumb I’m surprised Mark Sanford and his “soul mate” weren’t involved.
That’s too bad. We were vacationing in coastal Mexico a few years back, and we got to witness one of those hatches. Those little turtles were so cute and so determined to make it to the sea!
They would’ve also been awesome breaded and quickly pan-fried. Just kidding. Sort of... :)
I wonder how code enforcement officials will account for their time that night?
This is idiocy. All’s that is needed is an artificial “moon on the horizon” light buoy.
THE LOG OF Timothy Boardman, 24 years old, Carpenter’s mate in the ship Oliver Cromwell, 1778:

Went on Board. Kept her all night, & Lett her Go at 10 o’clock the next Day. Her cargo was Furr & Lumber. She had some Englishmen on Board, the Ocasion of our detaining Her so Long.

12th: at 6 afternoon Caught a Great Turtle which was kookt the next Day for the Entertainment of the Gentlemen of the Fleet. No less than 13 Came on Board to Dine.
Forget the law. Forget the turtles. What kin dof idiot lights something — let alone 150 of anything — on fire and then leaves it unattended?
Somehow, I just cannot get my (obviously warped) mind around the concept of a “romantic” proposal of marriage after the marriage has for all meaningful purposes already been consumated.
As for the turtles that witnessed it, sometimes you just can’t do anything right.
The enviro turtle Nazis knew where each and every turtle nest was located so they have no one to blame but themselves for the death of these hatchlings. How hard is it to line the beach with 2 or 3 ft. high plastic retaining walls force herding the hatchlings into the ocean, and if needed, temporary connecting plastic walls along the beach line to prevent the turtles from turning around and heading landward?
But that’s too simple and I’m sure they could come up with myriads of excuses as to why that wouldn’t work.
But then again, that wouldn’t be “natural” would it? These people are nothing but a bunch of do-gooding idiots who ultimately do more harm than good.
Turtle soup, ummmmmm good!
Yea, that was my comment on that news site.......
No ramifications where I live yet...
