it wasnt as bad as some of the disturbing vids that get posted on here and to be honest the gal that was carrying the turtle was doing a good thing by moving the big critter out of the road. but as i said earlier there was no need to find it funny when dropping the turtle!!

It is so horrid, I just looked up snapping turtle on youtube and I got garbage like this, The thing that disturbed me the most was the fact they were LAUGHING!

I felt so sorry for that poor turtle. What "type" of turtle is it? I've never seen such one! Please, tell me her name!

I also forgot to mention...... Those of you that say it's horrible to hold a turtle by it's tail...... That is the only safe way to hold a snapper, they can reach most of the way around their shell and can easily take off fingers...... Making holding it's side very dangerous....

@Fozz, maybe they wanted to put the turtle safe, away from the road, but definitely they didn't found the right way. I think they did more harm and stress than good to the poor turtle.
