A female snapping turtle was apparently beaten so badly that it died two days later. It was found on a golf course and it is believed it was beaten with a golf club. Making it even sadder is the fact that she apparently was looking for a place to lay eggs.

A Hat tip to Deb H for sending me one of the articles and a link to it and for sending a pic that was apparently of the deceased turtle. Since we have some young kids viewing the site, I opted not to publish that pic as it was pretty gory. You can easily imagine the injuries to the turtle if you watched the video which I found after a bit of searching the web.
All the best,
Glenn B
