"World Turtle" day was created as an annual observance to help people celebrate and protect turtles and tortoises and their disappearing habitats around the world. World Turtle Day was started to increase respect and knowledge for the world’s oldest creatures. (I just found out that a Turtle I know savors "red leaf" lettuce.) These gentle animals have been around for about 200 million years, yet they are rapidly disappearing as a result of the exotic food industry, habitat destruction and the cruel pet trade. Each of us can just be aware and do a few small things that can help to save turtles and tortoises for the next generation. Never buy a turtle or tortoise from a pet shop as it increases demand from the wild. Never remove turtles or tortoises from the wild unless they are sick or injured. If a tortoise is crossing a road or street, pick it up and send it in the same direction it was going – if you try to make it go back, it will turn right around again. Sounds like some people I know.

World Turtle Day: It's catching on...s..l..o..w..l..y...
All the Slowskys of the World appreciate Ms WWWeather's comments regarding the value of my kind. And yes, a crisp salad of fresh red leaf lettuce along with crunchy protein nibbles (or croutons, as you humans call them) always satisfies my aquatic tastebuds!!! Thanks, Miss Wildwood Weather for the kind words!
You got it Hank!!! Love ya!
