Shoot It: sea turtles

I'm such a horrible human being for not doing more to protect the loggerhead turtle. Sniff. How could I be so cruel, wanting to live in an advanced civilization? Sob. If these turtles aren't protected, the entire world -- nay, the universe -- will die a slow death. Whaaaaa.

From AP:

    The massive, nomadic sea turtles have been listed since 1978 as threatened, a step below endangered, but federal scientists proposed ratcheting up the designation after reviewing the state of the species.

Since I'm all but branded a murderer and destroyer of natural life, why not cut to the chase and do away with the loggerheads once and for all?

Agreed.. The sad truth is if it weren’t for radical conservation types that confiscate your property and liberty in the name of wildlife along with a whole host of inanimate constituents, i.e. Air, earth, water, rocks, you name it, I might actually care.. But hey! I heard the stimulus paid for a nice turtle tunnel! Sigh..
