...well Matt I wasn't exactly looking to get lectured to. I was actually looking for some advise about what I should be doing about the turtles' shells. If I do choose to let these turtles go they will be returning to the lake where they were found. Furthermore I work at this lake durning the summer and I can pretty much spend the day making sure they find their way. I understand your concern but this is a park district man made lake and people have been transfering all types of animals to and from here. I think they would adapt just fine once they are healthy. What does everyone else think? I'd liek to hear your opinions.
