Dispensing turtle-loving care
A ventilator tube in its beak and an incision in its rear, an ailing sea turtle lay splayed before a medical team that surrounded the operating table in aqua-colored scrubs and collective, concentrated focus.
...
Such critical care is a somewhat hidden mission of the New England Aquarium, whose 30,000 marine animals garner nearly all the wide-eyed attention of the visitors who circle its imposing four-story fish tank. But with the cold weather that killed and sickened hordes of turtles in Florida this winter, the center’s expertise has taken on a national dimension.
"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
That is all.

I would have them suckers swimming in a soup pot............
Oh boy, turtle soup with sherry.
I just don't feel the brotherhood with reptiles..... hell, I have a hard time accepting that Democraps are of the same species as I am....
Did you know that turtle apparently tastes rather like pork, except the fat is green? ;-)
