I stop for Gophers and box turtles as their numbers are low. I sometimes rescue painted turtles, but will not risk as much personal danger for this species as they are prolific in this area.

I saw a person deliberately run over a box turtle once and if I had not had elderly family members with me, I would have aggressively and effectively engaged that driver.

Let us try and have respect for all lifeforms, except perhaps sociopathic turtle killers.

A gopher tortoise hold out from when it was woods out there. Those turtles live to be very old but they are doomed to development on 9 Mile Rd.

We demand the patrol car video……..and the officer video……he did not read him his rights……..”You have the right to be silent and the right to an attorney, but everyone knows an attorney would not pick you out of the road and help you along your way……but would want your shell and rights to the joke, what did the cop, turtle, and lawyer say after crossing the road…….go….fer……it.

Great Work! This shows all officers have good in them and are not evil, as people believe they are.
