One of the roads i drive on frequently runs out to the bay i do alot of work out their at marina's.The turtles come up to the roadside to lay eggs. I have yet to figure out how people run them over it pisses me off every time i see a new one crushed. It is not like a deer where it run out in front of you and you could not avoid it. The dam things can barley get out of their own way and some smuck has to come along and run it over..

 

after reading this i think we need a rants thread..

we already have a section, its called the politics section HAHAHAHA

Most people can't see the car in front of them until they run up its rear. How do you expect them to see a turtle?

thats upsetting to hear. I have a turtle. used to have several..

These are the people that have no regard for anyone other than themselves.

You're talking about Seven Bridges/Great Bay? We used to cruise it all the time. The terrapin stains are quite disheartening. People just don't give a damn, sucks.

Local monster i saved from the traffic(even things this big get run over)

 

Nice Job UG!

 

Very sad...I feel bad for those guys. When I lived in Lacey you'd see them on the roads around the lakes. I'd try my best to save them every time I'd see them. People just dont care anymore. :evil:

Had one in my driveway this morning. We have signs in some areas where they frequent.

There are squashed turtles all over the NJTP in the Meadowlands area. Most of them lay squashed on the exit and on ramps. They come to the asphalt surface to bask in the sun as the asphalt gets hot.

 

They get hit because they are laying still and a motorist isn't paying attention to what lays in the road ahead.

I can see them being run over on the njtp but not on a off beat road with little traffic.

Man thats a big friggen turtle lol. How could u not see it. looks like a giant stone in the road. Would you hit a rock that size in the road?

unless it is those damn canadian geese, I really hate to see any animals hurt. bastards.
