Is it just me, or are we starting to get silly about treating and saving every single injured animal we find?

I love animals as much as most but this is f*cking ridiculous.

So long as this is done with private funds who should care?

[raydan]

Not all of them are done with private funds, Bart...

You know what? Considering that 99.99% of the time the turtle is just left to die slowly on the road, its nice to hear about someone making a big effort to help a "worthless" animal. Its the one good outcome in a million, and a compassionate act to ease the suffering of a creature. I dont know why people need to complain about it. Good for the pilot.

I second that. If we don't start doing more things like this, an start giving more of a damn about our wildlife, we won't have any wildlife left.

I used to hunt turtles to eat them.

But no, I would never let an animal suffer needlessly. I remember finding a porcupine while hiking when I was young. It had been obviously attacked but the attacker had given up. Never would I had thought to bring it to the vet, but I did take it out of its misery.
