Wildlife Warriors · Sometimes even if you are permitted to care for a type of animal it is best to get help from others with greater ability and more resources. These turtles were caught while fishing. Thankfully the people called and brought them in last night. If they cut the line and threw them back they probably would die a slow, miserable death. These two are several years old and with proper care hopefully they will live at least another 20. The hooks were all the way down the throat and maybe in the stomachs. There was no way to cut and pull the hooks. The Wildlife Center will xray and operate, rehab, and release. They have a fantastic facility with just the right staff. . Nara made the final decision for us to take them to the place that could give them the best chance at a future. We do all we can, consult with other rehabbers, and seek more help when necessary.
