Sea Turtle Found Dead With Spear Through Its Head

What’s up with humans these days that we find animals having a sharp object on their heads? Just recently, in Texas, an alligator was found with a knife on its head. Now, in Florida, a sea turtle was found dead as it floated on Biscayne National Park. As you can see in the image, a spear shaft can be seen to have pierced through the poor turtle’s head.

The turtle, believed to be a green sea turtle, was discovered by fishermen on the ocean side of Elliot Key Friday afternoon, a park’s service law enforcement ranger told the Miami Herald.

“If you have any information about the poached sea turtle, please contact Biscayne National Park dispatch at 305-242-7740,” the park posted on its Facebook page.
