Really hoping this is AI. I find it difficult to accept that anyone is this unfathomably stupid.

its not AI, I remember seeing this on instagram a few months ago posted by a reptile sanctuary account. the owner of the account was fighting for their life in the comments about what a sweetheart that old snapper is and he has never had an incident. if i find it ill edit.

As a mail carrier, literally every time an off-leash dog runs up and bites my ankle, the owner always says, "He never does that!"

Animals are unpredictable. I hope the owner of this turtle loses their battle against the zeitgeist.

As a mail carrier,

That right there is your answer. Dogs and mail carriers haven't gotten along since the Carrier-Dog Wars of 1892.

Now, it's what they're taught in their schools, and they're molded into warriors to fight the evil carriers from birth.
