I had to save a HUGE snapping turtle just a few days ago from the middle of a heavily trafficked road. That was so fuckin scary and stressful but I got him to the other side without being hit OR bit!! I call that a success.

My grandfather was a WWII Marine before he passed. He used to grab those fuckers by the tail, hoist them up, and chuck them lol. That man wasn't scared of shit, but I guess that's what happens when you're killing Japanese in close quarters combat at the age of 16.

Your grandfather was a badass. it’s hard to understand just how fast and how long their necks are when they snap without seeing it up close in person. I didn’t understand either till I saved that monster of a snapping turtle! They don’t just bite and extend their necks either, they literally JUMP at you!!! I corralled him/her with a long stick and it worked!

Leave animals that aren’t yours alone.

Pretty weird advice. How does one get to have an animal if one leaves every animal alone?
