Cycle 2 Week 3

I've learned quite a few important points from the article "Sea Turtle Soup? No Thanks!" One of the things that I've learned is "sea turtles (family Cheloniidae) absorb a lot of pollution from the ocean, including pesticides and heavy metals like mercury and cadmium. These toxins are health hazards for both turtles and humans and can cause permanent damage to their bodies. Sea turtles also carry the bacteria salmonella..." Since some people around the world eat sea turtle the turtle's that they eat could be infected so the chances of them getting fatally sick are high. Another thing that I learned is,"Sea turtles have been on Earth for millions of years, but they are in danger of going extinct. The main threat to them is people who kill them for food..." So in truth we have been killing one the earth's oldest & most beautiful creatures for our own wrong purposes. Because we as humans don"t need to have sea turtle accessories nor eat an exotic sea turtle cuisine. The way this article applies to me and the world around me is that not even the most harmed animal con seem to not be even more harmed by humans in this world.So people around the world should stop eating sea turtle's and stop using them for unessential reasons.
