German Villagers Build Giant Rake To Search For Fearsome Turtle

Olga · Veteran Member

When I first saw the headline, I believed that this would be a funny story. Now that I heard the whole thing, I think that is scary! I think they're doing the right thing by searching for that turtle. It is a hazard to the people as well as the kids who live there. The people should catch it and release it into the wild.

I think it is very wasteful to waste so much time and energy in catching a turtle whem you can just send in a animal expert or something of that sort.

The real question is what kinds of events go on in this village to cause them to seek revenge and possibly catch the wrong turtle

kevinNguyen · Veteran Member

waste of time people should spend that time to do more productive things rather then trying to catch a turtle that bit some kid

At least they are trying to get it out of the water in a humane way. They could have just put a cord connected to a car battery in. Plus, if the turtle bit one person, it could bite another.

I think that they should catch the turtle only if it poses future threats to other people. In that case, they should hire an expert to find and then simply relocate the turtle. If its not a threat, then they should forget about it.

it does seem like a waste to spend all that time looking for one turtle. it only hurt one person. there are better ways to use time and money.

why don't they just leave the turtle alone? i bet if they don't bother it then it won't attack random people, and if it does, then they shouldn't waste so much time to find it.

I believe they are going to end up spending more resources constructing the rake, they should should hire a professional to find and relocate the turtle.

If an animal hurt someone in the U.S we do not use all our resources to dispose of it and someone we don't use any resources at all.

At least they'll have a lot of turtle soup when they're done with him.

I agree with most of you this is pointless of them and cost more than it helps

Mary Sanchez · Veteran Member

I don't think they should be putting so much time and resources into looking for this one turtle. I think it's a waste of time. Also there could be more than just one of these turtles so they could end up catching the wrong one.

Riley Harris · Veteran Member

I bet there are a whole army of turtles ready to rebel against this village.

This doesn't seem very productive at all, it seems likely that even though they're using their resources to catch the turtle there's hardly any chance of trapping it since it hasn't been spotted in weeks.
