At around 6:40am, a passerby saw something curious on a sidewalk in Hong Kong. It looked like it was the body of an adult turtle – but it had clearly been through something heinous. The poor animal’s shell was shattered and it was lying in a pool of its own blood.<\/p>\n
But, even worse, this wasn’t the only turtle found dead and shattered that day. A second passerby found another turtle in the same condition just six hours later.<\/p>\n

Authorities quickly determined that someone had thrown the two pet turtles out of nearby residential buildings – and clearly from a significant height. Both of their bodies were mangled and mutilated. The helpless animals had obviously gone through shock and terror and excruciating pain as they each separately fell and died.<\/p>\n
Both animals were pets. They trusted the humans who held them captive to take care of them – to feed them, house them, and treat them with gentleness and love. But instead, several humans betrayed that promise and instead subjected these turtles to sadistic cruelty.<\/p>\n
Authorities in Hong Kong are currently conducting an investigation, but we must demand that they don’t give up until the culprits are found.<\/p>\n
