No one is supposed to touch them but I think it is more for the people's protection than the turtles. When it rains they seem to think every place is their territory. I wish the government would clean them out instead of just telling us not to touch them!  Not nearly as bad as an alligator but can cause a lot of issues with kids and pets. A lot of ducks and geese have lost feet because of them, too. That kind of critter I would not mind seeing the end of. |
Those snappers are vile varmints! I remember those from living in southern LA.
