Riding a sea turtle
is totally illegal.
If riding endangered
species is in fact illegal (Sea turtles and Manatees for starters), what
happened to those two girls and why did those boys jumping on a manatee get off
with a little slap on the wrist?
How much trouble
this woman could be in
MELBOURNE BEACH --
Pictures on social media show what appear to be girls riding a sea turtle on a
Brevard County beach during the critical sea turtle nesting season.
One picture shows
what appears to be a young girl looking as if she's riding a large sea turtle,
either sitting on or hovering over it with her hands in the air.
The other picture
shows another girl, but her hands appeared to be pressed down on the turtle's
back. She was either sitting or leaning over its shell.
These pictures of
what appear to be two girls riding a sea turtle, allegedly at Melbourne Beach,
have sparked outrage on social media and prompted an investigation by the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. It is illegal in Florida to
harm or harass sea turtles.
