Something is Wrong with the Turtle

The article is a short, caustic critique of the leniency with which the abuse of a turtle was treated. The author expresses their frustration that the perpetrators were charged only with disturbance, despite the brutal attack on a defenseless animal. They highlight the absurd justification that the turtle was already dead during the attack, arguing that the law should protect animals even after their death. The author uses rhetorical questions to emphasize the lack of seriousness of the charge and the need for stricter legislation to protect animals. Their criticism is direct and expresses outrage at the devaluation of animal life.
