Sea Turtles

What the problem is!

        There are problems with the numbers of Sea Turtles in the wild.  Some problems are the fact that they are being hunted, caught in nets, getting hooked on large fishing hooks meant for larger creatures, and their nests are being destroyed.  Every single species of sea turtle are either threatened or endangered.  In some countries hunting sea turtles have become a way of living, and many of the turtles end up in soups and other exotic delicacies.  If we don’t do something now the entire sea turtle population is estimated to become almost extinct by 2015.  Do you want a beautiful creature to cease to exist?
