Snapping turtle bit boy's penis

Police divers are hunting a snapping turtle that bit a 15-year-old boy on the penis in an alpine lake.

They believe the turtle had probably been dumped in the lake at Grossweil in Bavaria by its owner after it got too big for its tank.

They say the animals, that are natives to North America and are illegal to own in Germany, usually avoid human contact unless cornered.

They are puzzled as to why the turtle should have attacked the teenage swimmer.

The boy was bitten through the swimming trunks on his private parts and then bitten again on the hand as he tried to scramble out of the water.

He realised what it was that was attacking him when the turtle latched onto his finger, leaving a deep wound that needed several stitches.

Snapping turtles can reach a weight of six stone and live for 80 years, but police believe that if they failed to catch the latest turtle escapee it will not survive through the winter when the lake freezes over.

Despite the hot weather locals have been avoiding the lake since the incident, but so far there has been no further sign of the turtle and the hunt by police divers has been unsuccessful.

This apparently happened last month; I heard about it this morning on the radio on the way in.  

I'll be shocked if this isn't a DUPE, but I searched on all the key words and didn't find anything...

Why waste the time chasing down the turtle though? Snapping turtles snap, it's what they do

Exactly.  WTF?  Are they going to start hunting hornets and wasps when kids get stung?

Fucking retarded.

Turtle shooting draws criticism

Some, including wildlife control expert, say Exeter officer's action was overkill.

By KEVIN AMERMAN [email protected]

Some animal handlers and local residents question why an Exeter police sergeant shot a snapping turtle twice in the head Friday after it had wandered onto a resident's yard.

Cindy Starke, a shelter manager for the Luzerne County SPCA, said she was not on the scene Friday and doesn't know all of the circumstances, but believes the turtle should not have been shot.

"Turtles are slow and cumbersome. It's not like they're going to catch up with you. I'm surprised (it was shot). Put it back in the water. That's what I would have done if I had been there."

The turtle, estimated to be about 50 pounds, crept onto the Wyoming Avenue yard of James Fino on Friday morning. Fino said he tried to poke the turtle away with a broomstick and the turtle broke it into two pieces with a quick snap of his jaw. Exeter police Sgt. Len Galli was called to the scene and after the turtle snapped at him, he pumped two bullets into its head. Fino said he called police fearing the turtle would bite someone.

"If it can snap a broomstick, it can do the same with fingers, especially children's fingers," Starke said. "But I would have definitely researched other options."

Starke said the turtle could have been covered with a blanket, then lifted and relocated. She said in situations like this, authorities can call the SPCA for advice.

"You're talking about a serious public relations nightmare when an officer shoots an animal," said Jason Carter, a certified wildlife control professional who works for ACE Bat and Wildlife Control, which removes animals from residential areas. "In my professional opinion, I don't think it's necessary for a police officer to use deadly force in a residential area when an animal is posing no immediate danger."

Carter said shooting an animal can be justified in certain cases. For example, if a fox or some other wild animal is posing a threat. But he said snapping turtles, which tend to move slowly, don't pose that type of danger.

"It wasn't a life-or-death matter," he said. "It could have been safely removed."

Carter said the turtle, which was likely lost and confused, could have been relocated by his company for about $75. He said authorities in Monroe County, especially the Pocono Mountain Regional Police, routinely call his company to remove animals rather than handling the matter themselves.

"Usually we say to officers, ‘Stick to the two-legged animals.' "

Galli defended his actions on Saturday. He said he tried to scoop the turtle up to relocate it and it snapped at him. He laughed when he was told people were upset.

"It's not like it's an endangered species," he said. "God forbid some kid was hurt. It tried to bite two of us. What was I going to do? It was huge, I'm telling you huge."

Galli's actions met with disapproval from regular citizens as well.

"It's ridiculous. This guy should be fined," said Charlie Garzilli of Mountain Top, who said he grew up near a lake and has been around turtles for much of his life. "I can't believe a sergeant in a police force doesn't know better."

"If you poke it with a stick, of course the turtle's going to bite it," Garzilli said.

John Ferrara of Harveys Lake, a former hunter, called the shooting "unnecessary."

"How could you do that? This turtle could have been alive for 50 years," Ferrara said. "Do you really think you couldn't run away from it? That's ridiculous. He didn't have to shoot it."

Ferrara said he picks up turtles and shows them to his children when he sees them by Harveys Lake. He said he always puts them back.

"I've held 25-pound snappers."

It said they were searching for it because they didn't think it would live through the winter in that lake.

Whoop-de-doo. He shot a turtle. They're considered small game and perfectly legal to shoot. Some people piss and moan about the dumbest shit.

That's your cue, Chuck Berry!  

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy.
Silver bells hanging on a string,
She told me it was my ding a ling a ling.
Oh, my ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.

And then mama took me took me to grammar school,
But I stopped off in the vestibue.
Every time that bell would ring,
Catch me playing with my ding a ling a ling.

Oh, my ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.

Once I was climbing the garden wall.
I slipped and had a terrible fall.
I fell so hard I heard bells ring,
But held on to my ding a ling.

Oh, my ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.

Once I was swimming across turtle creek,
Man, them snappers all around my feet.
Sure was hard swimming across that thing
With both hands holding my ding a ling.

Oh, my ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.

This here song,
it ain't so sad.
The cutest little song you ever had.
Those of you who will not sing,
You must be playing with your own ding a ling.

Oh, my ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.
My ding a ling,
my ding a ling,
I want you to play with my ding a ling.

Your ding a ling,
your ding a ling,
We saw you playing with your ding a ling.
My ding a ling,
everybody sing,
I want to play with my ding a ling,
Everybody,
my ding a ling,
Oh my ding a ling,
I want to play with my ding a ling.

That turtle will get in mud for winter and be back and get bigger for the next 50 years.
He's gonna wake up hungry for penis!

For some reason, that news article provoked about 15 minutes of serious unmitigated giggling.

One thing I didnt understand is why the thought the freezing over of the lake would kill a snapper. We have them in MN. Perhaps it was to calm the tourists for next year.
