I’m COMPLETELY with you on this! I didn’t actually touch the turtle (though I was much too close) but I hate the fact looking back that I included this clip as I was unaware of the negative ramifications. It’s sad how irresponsible acts like mine have created a lack of respect for these beautiful creatures (and others). Thank you for taking the time to comment and inform an ignorant mainlander such as myself of the error of my ignorant action! I promise to be more conscious of my actions regarding these things moving forward. All the love!

Also going to edit the caption on this video to include an apology and explanation for why this behavior was inappropriate. I honestly haven’t watched this in over a year and had forgotten the clip was a part of it. Thank you again!

+Ryan Shirley I appreciate the feedback brother!
