I believe that is enough for at least one TWW titty to be freed as good karma.


Hook it up, Thx.

You're not supposed to touch these.

10/9/2013 5:25:12 PM

Yeah, well. Either I touch it, or a hungry bird does.

10/9/2013 5:29:03 PM

I mean I dont write the rules, and I dont give a shit, but that would be a hefty fine regardless.

Just helping you man.

10/9/2013 5:31:26 PM

Well, what are the rules?

I know you're not supposed to mess with nesting turtles, or poach them for meat and stuff. But me picking this guy up as he was running towards the water was literally what kept the birds overhead from swooping down and eating it.

10/9/2013 5:42:18 PM

Just touching one is up to $25k, but probably more like $500.

I suppose it depend how douchey the ranger or whatever is that catches you.

All the sea turtles that visit NC are protected under the Endangered Species Act. Obviously that's a Federal Law, and you could probably be additionally raped under NC state law as well.

Just don't touch one and enjoy the circle of life.

This was in Mexico.

10/9/2013 5:52:12 PM

You mean "Mexico"

10/9/2013 5:56:17 PM

EMCE threw sand in its eyes before helping it

10/9/2013 6:07:45 PM

Naw, son. Naw.

10/9/2013 6:11:08 PM

Damn invasive species ruining our ecosystem.

BIRDS NEED TO EAT TOO, YOU SPECIESIST BASTARD

10/9/2013 6:30:37 PM

government is shut down, federal law doesn't apply

10/9/2013 6:34:34 PM

10/9/2013 6:37:03 PM

Well who gives a shit if it's in Mexico?

Sorry I didn't ask that in the first place.

10/9/2013 6:54:17 PM

We saved one too! In charleston.

10/9/2013 8:33:56 PM

Ok while EMCE is fine fondling sea turtles in Mexico you are not fine fondling them in South Carolina.

What you're doing is disturbing them, and you're at least breaking Federal Law if not also State law.

Just be careful, I don't really give a shit about sea turtles, but that's the way it is.

10/9/2013 8:36:17 PM

Did I say we touched it with our hands? Or maybe we called the sea turtle number posted everywhere on folly and waited for them to show up. Hm?

10/9/2013 9:18:40 PM

Maybe.

You can also get fined for harassing them in general, which probably includes being in their face with a camera, because the Endangered Species Act is really specific about flash photography, lights, reflections, etc.

Anything that could disorient an animal in general (basically).

Again, not trying to be a dick.

10/9/2013 9:34:32 PM

Oh shit! Should've left my studio equipment at home that day during the bright sunlit afternoon.

All joking aside, I wonder what the fine amount actually is.

10/9/2013 9:41:00 PM

At least $500, not more than $25k.

It starts to get massive ($100k) once you start messing with nests.

I only know all this because I know/knew a bunch of interns and workers at the conservancy on Bald Head Island.

I just get my million candle power spotlight and imitate the moon. nbd.

"Helping" the turtles instead of "helping" the birds just because the turtles are cuter.

Shameful.

10/10/2013 12:26:46 AM

This is like helping the sperm that swims sideways get to the egg first.

10/10/2013 12:34:48 AM

The only way you can help those turtles is by picking people up and carrying them off the beach

10/10/2013 1:28:29 AM

EMCE,
where were you staying in Mexico? I just got back from the Valentin Imperial Maya in Riviera Maya.

10/10/2013 8:09:26 AM

Have fun?


We were staying at the Royal Solaris in Cancun

10/10/2013 8:15:04 AM

ist it like only 1 in 10,000 survive or something?

10/10/2013 8:37:51 AM

^^had a great time. they had a Sea Turtle sanctuary of their own, but none were scheduled to hatch while we were there. Apparently a large portion hatched the weekend before we arrived.

10/10/2013 10:20:52 AM

No surprise that an american staying at an all inclusive cancun resort thinks picking up sea turtles is doing their duty of "helping" wild life.
