Disturbing wild life and sea life let nature decide on turtle fate.
Save the Toitles 💓 🐢 🐢 🐢
Abbott and Cruz own all this!
Aww poor guys
But they didn't warm up any of the cold stunned humans. Ninja Turtles: *RESPECT*
I ❤ turtles I kid you not. I'm so glad they rescued them 🐢❤

muh global warming. ohh wait,what ?
thanks thanks for saving the turtles 🐢 😀
I love it .
Not much of a ninja now eh turtle
nice feel good story for a change
I love that! That's awesome!🐢👍
Natural occurance occurs, Turtles that mother nature was turning into sea nutrients have now survived... Forego rapid hybridization turn into reptilians and take humans down to conquer the earth. Nobody sees it coming.
yeah save the turtles and let the babies die. you are sick.
Its good to hear someone has a good heart saving these sea turtles . Its good to hear something positive, especially in this zub zero weather.
Poor little hockey pucks. Look at all that wasted soup ingredient. (Only kidding, hope they get the help they deserve)
Come On Highlight Texas Turtles Sympathy< Amost A Hollywood Joke
They're saving seaturtles and taking them to warming center, while people are freezing to death? Wrong.
Don't worry. Every town around south padre has shelters opened up for people. People that had power helped out family and neighbors that lost power. Businesses and churches with power held their own food drives. And alot of the volunteers who helped the turtles were out of power and and water themselves. They didn't sit home and whine. This is Texas. We take care of our own
They have warming centers for people, people cannot get through the snow to them. The turtles are going into a shelter designated for animals not a human warming center. Shelters for people have specific standards that have to be followed like bathrooms and cots.
Why is it wrong?
Thanks Obama.
Oh wow!
poor turtles!!!
Shows how dumb people are. Saving sea turtles 🐢 while their fellow man suffers and dies in the cold dark nights.
The SPI turtle refuge is a cool place started by a badass lady. Worth your time if you ever get down there. Good luck turtles!! 🙏❤️
I absolutely love turtles these people are unspoken angles abd im crying. We need more angles.
And guys, turtles are some of the only things in the ocean who can eat jelly fish safely. So ya, turtles kill evil stinging ocean bags.
angels*
Me too 🥺
Save them all 🥺
What Mitch doing there?
Global warming.
Awesome people thank you
Turtle Lives Matter
If you don't like global warming... you don't like sea turtles.
This is the only thing I have heard about Texas that didn't make me want to vomit.
It's cool. Stay out of Texas with that attitude
That's to bad, your missing out on a lot of great things for no other reason than your political beliefs.
If they did not do this, generations of turtles were in danger of being endangered. No spawning for years, no replacements for those dying off. What we see is just a small portion of them.
yes they are heros for saving the turtles we should throw a parade for these heros!
well they created the storm with geoengineering anyways so the least they can do is try to save the animals they are killing off!😏
Stuart Longhorn this was my thoughts as well.
The Atlantic population ranges from Canada down to Uruguay and across to the Mediterranean, and have existed for many millions of years, I think they’re going to be ok.
Yes
So people are surviving with no heat but we have to help turtles ? Really ?
@Iowangal Smith educate yourself before you comment. I live in the area. There's a turtle rescue organization that has been there for 40 years, started by an amazing former female world war 2 pilot. Helping endangered injured turtles and protecting their nesting grounds. The area is a close knit community. Local residents did alot of the rescuing including my daughter and son-in-law. And took them to the rehab center. When that was full, The city allowed the use of the convention center building. Oh and neither of those places had power until yesterday.
@Iowangal Smith Why are you not out there saving Seniors? Saving Babies?
@Iowangal Smith a person cannot just go collecting children and seniors, that is kidnapping. They are a non profit for animals and I think the turtles are not getting cots or heaters, just being brought inside.
@Poker R P how would a non profit wild animal rescue, rescue seniors? Or people? There are regulations about such things. You seem to think both cannot be done or that an independent non profit somehow took money from people? What planet do you live on?
@Tina Trice animal activist just don’t care about humans only animals
Save the turtles from vsco tiktok became real
Oh thank you for saving these turtles! Poor babes!
So ... let me get this straight... you spend about 1 hundred thousand bucks to “warm up ... “turtles” ... but not humans ?? 🤦♂️ and somehow I’m suposta believe that our government will protect us citizens from a serious threat ... if that’s not a slap in the face to the tax payers, then... what is???
Awwwwwwww
Aww that's when the sharks get to eat more. When something bad happens in nature, it is good for something else.
@Claire Mosier I eat turtle! 🦈🦈🦈
No eating here tonight nonono eating here tonight. Your on a diiiet.🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
thank god for humans otherwise these turtles would be toast.
I thought they were begging to be toasted, having been stunned by the icy cold ocean.
There are some very compassionate generous people. I hope other animals have found food and shelter.
Me to!
Blame the wind turbines lol
Damn GLOBAL WARMING is no joke 😂

Global warming is false. Just a way for rich people to get richer
@Gary Oldham thank you for your input! How does it explain the extreme heat in the summer time? Record breaking every year. I feel it thru my windows😬
@David Blaine Virus fears, social distancing, wearing masks. Much of this is to cool off the sex drive. Population control. There will be no kissing during the covid epidemic! Actually it's a brilliant plan!
@Ch28 Global warming and global cooling are normal natural processes. what we contribute to the process is very hard to assess.. There is a scientific consensus for climate change cycles and the recent warming trend. but there is no consensus on human contribution. We can't afford Green New deal or socialism. Not from a position of weakness deep in debt. what we needed is 8 years of strong economy and the highest employment numbers in history. If that had continued the debt would easily roll downward. Slowly at first but gaining speed over time. Snowball effect of finance. It doesn't happen overnight just like reaching goals doesn't happen overnight. With patience and a strong economy we could reach the day when we can afford the changes that we need, but every household knows you don't go on a spending spree when you're deep in debt. Another ice age will come. They will wish we had contributed more to global warming. But most scientists have no illusions that we could somehow stop an ice age. This should tell you something about how little of an effect we actually have. Can you stop the weather from getting cold? If the entire world turns up their furnaces on a cold night does this affect distant galaxies? Heat is lost to space. We are not Venus. There is no significant blanket covering the Earth. It is gases. If gas was a good blanket we would not fill our walls. Changing the percentages of atmospheric gas? That turns us into Venus? The atmospheric pressure on Venus is 92 times that of Earth. Do you really think we have added so much more blanket to the atmosphere when heat radiates into space?
Who dislikes saving sea turtles? Bro
So what happened before there were humans? Or did turtles come after humans? 😂🤣😂🤣
@Iowangal Smith lol right, these people are B L I N D
Me! Because knowing the lying government I know it's some evil corrupt shit behind this, it's always something behind it or else they wouldn't report it lol. Can't wait until the whole grid shuts down.
@Gabriel Lima forsure! It’s ridiculous what’s going on there. Honestly believe no matter what party, politicians get bought out and do corrupt things. Disgusting
@eGirl well I apologize then. I’m just disappointed at what Republicans have done in Texas, it’s infuriating. I had to fly out my mother in law to CT to save her from being frozen to death. Texas turned into North Korea overnight with some snow and cold, it’s unacceptable. The Republicans of Texas have deregulated everything to fill their pockets with cash.
🐢🐢🐢
Turtles like thought we got away from COVID now this
Gloabal warming shyyt is falling apart for their scams too!!! These Democrats are the fn virus
Texas Ratllesnake himself Steve Austin gave these turtles a Stone Cold Stunner!
Damn im sorry all turtles going thru it to
so every one feels bad for the turtles but not for the cows chicken pigs goats and lambs we slaughter everyday? get outta here
Nah. You get outta here. Just like these Texans got surprised when hard times came if you had no food because of some disaster you would eat what you could get.
SUPPORT YOUR TURTLES 🐢 😢
@tileavenue stupid people act like yourself . Take care and have a nice day 🤔👍
@Mike Wizard stoopid ppl say turtles matter more than humans 😊
@tileavenue problem is I'm not stupid so why would I do that. I'll leave that to stupid people .
@Mike Wizard or you can just jump in the water. But remember to tell the rescuers first that "fack people turtles are more important"
@tileavenue if I had the equipment and ability and money to I would
I care more about turtles then I do people.
Bro I care about you and you can't care for me
I used to care about people. I wanted to help. But nice guys just get used and abused.
Claire Mosier I was responding to OP
Mr Boombastic no i was responding to OP
But it is people that saved your beloved turtles. It is fine to be cautious but you should lose the paranoia enjoying the human race no matter how messy it can be. We feel betrayed, we feel mistrust, we feel threatened. Most of that isn't even real. Most of the harm from humans is within our own emotions. You harm yourself. Cut them slack don't expect them to be perfect since you are not. Certainly don't project expectations. You might feel that someone is being selfish. Of course that does happen, everyone does have an obligation to provide for their own. Survival. So don't blame them for not caring for you. You are supposed to care for yourself. And if you are a beacon of positive energy and a contributor instead of a source of negativity you will be loved and supported. I helped 10 people over 5 years. None of them paid me back. They didn't make any changes so their lives stayed in the same rut. My help didn't make any real difference it just allowed them foolish money to blow on drugs or buying things they didn't even need. Then the water bill would be shut off again and their toilet wouldn't flush. Only one of them changed and turned her life around. She had been messing things up for so long that her family's had stopped wanting to help her. I counseled her to block meth. She made the decision to stop destructive behaviors, move back with family. Since she was being proactive her family stepped up to help. She turned her life around. No she is not depressed, paranoid, or focused on the bad things that happened. She realized that it was up to her. The other nine whose lives remain miserable all had the same thing in common. their minds were full of junk. Anger, regret, blame, guilt. If you set goals your mind fills up with how to achieve them. You become forward looking. There's no more room for junk. Only the happiness of making progress. Pride of accomplishment. Unhappy is a lack of positive contribution. Studies have proven that when people begin to contribute to society because they love the human race, because they care about offspring, future generations, because they have joined the human race in all its messiness, that is when their happiness levels skyrocket. when they spread positive vibes instead of complaining that others aren't doing it. You can't control them but you can control yourself. You can't contribute to society if you are afraid of everyone. Bravery is involved. Caution is normal. Then you realize how easy it is to spread happiness everywhere you go. So that happiness comes from within, it's not depending on how other people behave. It's the belief that you are the Master and Commander of your own mind and your own emotions and you create your own Utopia. No one else gives it to you. at that point the very fact of your own contentment is an inspiration and a contribution. As you think so you feel. If you become the commander of your mind then you are also the commander of your emotions. You become the commander of your own outcome. Setbacks are normal. They do not stop someone who has set goals. It is possible to slap on blinders to the past as though it doesn't even exist. Remember the good. Forget the bad. Better yet become forward looking since dwelling on the past rarely contributes. Good luck! Save the turtle! Don't expect all turtles to treat you right. Some will betray you. 😳
I like turtles
Who doesn't
