He was passing out because when he breathed it clamped down harder. They called an ambulance. Meanwhile he’s in a recliner and one boy is holding the turtle in the air so it wouldn’t fall over and rip the meat from my brother’s stomach. Another guy was stabbing it with a knife but it didn’t let go. Then the neighbor came in with a garden hose and started spraying it (he was a nutcase).
Anyway, my brother’s friend finally grabs a hammer and knocks a perfect hole in the shell. Then the nutcase jambs the hose into the hole and the turtle’s legs and neck came out and blew up like a balloon. It finally let go. The ambulance got there a short time later and one of the paramedics, a young girl, refused to help my brother because she was mad about the turtle being killed. The other paramedic gave him a shot and loaded him onto a gurney and took him to the hospital.
I would hazzard to guess he is eating like a tortoise.
Ouch! That’s a gruesome tale. I’ve always had a soft spot for Turtles and Torti, but I’d probably have to draw the line at Snapping Turtles, or at least admire them from a great distance.
If you’re dumb enough to play with a snapping turtle, you deserve what you get. I hope the jerk who tortured this turtle gets real jail time.
Wow! Sounds like the real parties are happening at your house!

That sounds like grounds for a lawsuit
