Don't eat sea turtle meat.

Dollface thread.

Karma.

It's not saying who ate the seat turtle but I always roll my eyes at tourists who humble brag about like the locals, with the locals. Wouldn't you rather get the green apple splatters at home, rather than ruining your holiday?

Why do humans have to eat EVERY animal. We should be evolved. I think this is just pure gluttony and selfishness.

Do not eat anything that has eyes.

LOL R6! Was that real or from the old Onion News ?

It's real, R8. I'm not R6, but I first saw it on Tosh.0. He even interviewed the kid several years later if I recall.

Good.

R8's a fucking moron frau CUNT.

r11 Overreact much? R8's only problem was typing "lol" like an 8 yr old from the late 90s.

R7, Et tu, Solanum tuberosum?

Dammit, there go my dinner plans.

Don't eat anything that moves on it's own.

Avenging dark leader McConnell’s fall from power

That's terrible. For the people and the turtle.

Okay.

Chelonitoxism can be deadly, and supportive treatment is the only treatment available; there is no known antidote.[5][6] Sea turtle is a traditional food in the region of the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans.[2] Symptoms of chelonitoxism begin to show up within hours to a week following ingestion of turtle meat which has not been repeatedly parboiled.[2] Children are especially susceptible, and the toxins have been reported to transfer readily via breastfeeding, even when the mother experiences no illness.[1][2] Effects on the digestive system include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dysphagia, tongue abnormalities and a firm, nontender liver. Autopsies have revealed hemorrhage in liver, esophagus and stomach, with mucosal edema of the esophagus, stomach and intestines. Fatty changes and necrosis of the liver were present. Other organs found to be abnormal on autopsy include swollen gall bladder, congested kidneys and enlarged spleen.[2] Effects on the cardiovascular system include variable slight tachycardia and a moderate drop in systolic blood pressure, pallor and, on autopsy, a flabby heart with hemorrhagic petechiae. Neurological signs include increased salivation, sweating, vertigo, lethargy and diminished deep reflexes, sometimes followed by coma and death. Death was found to result from respiratory failure. On autopsy, cerebral cortical edema was found, along with hemorrhagic petechiae.[2] Low fever, thirst, constipation and spontaneous abortion have also been reported, while typical signs of allergic reaction are absent. A full recovery can take weeks, and it is not known whether any aftereffects are permanent. While standard hospital toxicology screens detected no known toxins, stomach contents of hospitalized patients fed to small laboratory animals killed the animals. Silas and Bastian have speculated that chelonitoxism may involve a neurotoxin.[2]

Good. Leave sea turtles alone.

I'm surprised adults are so stupid to eat this and furthermore feed it to their children. It's completely cynical and pathetic that the locals are serving this poison to gullible tourists, as well.

Crush gets his revenge.

What's it taste like? Tortoise meat is apparently so nice 19th century sailors kept eating the ones they were meant to bring back alive to Europe.

It's much more deadly to children. They consider it a "pro-choice" option.

Well, R24, as much as I love turtle soup I would love the opportunity to taste tortoise, but I'd be too scared to do it. I have trust issues and my life would be in the hands of someone I don't know.
