Summary on sea turtles.

Over the past three weeks I have learned many shocking things about the current situation of the sea turtles. Things that I never knew before are now burned into my mind. Even the things I did not really want to see. I did not even know sea turtles were endangered until I read all those articles. In my opinion, we are the ones in the wrong. Sea turtles are living creatures, like us. They can feel pain. While reading some of the articles, I thought about what it would be like if humans and sea turtles switched places for a day. We could then feel how they feel, being trapped in nets and hooks, dying while attempting to escape what we left behind in their home. The ocean. I find sea turtles cute and it pains me, as well as other animal lovers to see them dying just like in the videos I watched. In fact, if the people who took the footage saw a sea turtle struggling to free itself, they should have helped it instead of watching it die through the camera lens. Some humans are just heartless. It would be such a disappointment if humans fail to conserve these wonderful creatures. Sea turtles appeared about 65 million years ago, by the same time that dinosaurs disappeared from earth. What a waste it would be to loose something that has been around since the dinosaurs.I would not want my children and their children's children never able to see this wonderful creature ever again. To be honest, when I was really young, I used to litter along the beach area everytime my parents brought me to the beach. My parents kept on lecturing me everytime I littered, but being the stubborn little girl I was, I did not listen to them. After reading all those articles, I finally realised that even a single plastic bag thrown into the ocean can affect many sea turtles and other marine life as well. Rubbish bins are there for a reason and not for decoration purposes. We should use them instead of using the ocean and shore as our rubbish bin. I sincerely hope we humans change our ways because an entire species is counting on us.
