This presumably includes such lit decorations as Christmas creches, Santy Clauses, and Rudolph's shiny red nose....maybe even Halloween pun'kins.
Scientists believe that the directionally-challenged little shelled darlings confuse porch lights and other illuminations with the moon.....and their radar (or whatever it's called) gets confused and throws them completely off their appointed rounds to the water.
Naturally, Rush is the Great Turtle Monster to the libs for utilizing his oratorial talents publicly on this situation which affects his neighborhood....comments which are pithy....and not exactly Winston Turtillian.

Love Rush but sometimes he gets a little ridiculous.
I like turtles and I also like Christmas and public safety.
There are ALWAYS ways to accommodate conservation of species and public safety and well-being.
Maybe using red lights is the answer. A lot of animals can’t see red light at night. Light shielding is also a possibility. Keeping all front lights off for 8 months is a bit ridiculous, not to mention unsafe.
