The Huffington Post is reporting that a woman has been arrested in Florida after a photo published on Facebook showed her riding a Sea Turtle.
Sea turtles are a protected species under the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 and Florida's Marine Turtle Protection Act. The animals struggle with their own weight when they come ashore to lay eggs. Sitting on a turtle can damage its ribs or sternum.I can only say that a Sea Turtle seems a poor choice of getaway vehicle.
