It’s a funny thing — my wife is a Filipina, and was pretty “green” oriented in the 1st years of our marriage. I’d told her about a time my Dad caught, and he and I butchered a good size common snapping turtle, which we had my Mom cook. My wife thought all turtles are sweet, peaceful, endangered creatures that should never be harmed, and was horrified. Then one day we happened to see a big snapper ON the road to our neighborhood. I stopped to get it safely off the road (which my wife thought was sweet of me), and of course this thing viciously lunges at me and in general demonstrates a snapper’s usual mean disposition — getting it off the road and not getting bitten was a bit of an exercise! My wife never thought of turtles (at least not snappers) the same way again: Now she wants me to catch one to make turtle soup!
