heart aching

Of the 527 turtles verified from April 30 to June 21, a total of 396 stranded turtles were found dead, 41 stranded alive. Four of those subsequently died. Four live stranded turtles were released, and 33 live stranded turtles are being cared for at rehabilitation centers. 


48 dead dolphins.


I know there are people affected, but honestly, they have other options.  Turtles have no avoidance mechanism, they swim right into this shit and it kills them.  Ugh, I just...I hurt.
