Terribly tragic situation. Poor little boy. And so horrific for the bystanders. I have no words really.
I'm almost embarrassed to tell this story as I may be tarnished by association.
We have a local loggerhead turtle rookery here where I live and a few years ago a ranger was bitten by a turtle. Got in the way of the turtle while she was laying and for all I know it wasn't even a deliberate bite. Maybe their mouth's open and shut while laying - I wouldn't know. Some bright spark wrote into the local paper asking why, if pet dogs get pts, why wasn't this turtle?
Umm... yeah... ok then.
Yes, people are saying "if a dog on the street bites a kid it gets PTS, why aren't these dogs?"
