@ all

those turtles are just given(not bought) to us since the previous owner(a very old man of which we dont know where he lives since he only passed by our residence to bring over the animals due to seems he knew we like rare animals) cannot handle the feeding anymore. and now being kept by my relative. wawo eats much(pwerte dako-a dyud og kaon; he eats seagrass and fish), and is very sweet(lambing) in which seems naanad na og tao. i think they are being kept by that old man since they were very young yet. i believe that old man 'was' a fisherman from far place since he caught the turtles and and raised them. and no, its not that too shallow, that time when i took the shot, the pond is being put yet with water on the other side which is deeper. wawo just loves to be cuddled thats why he frequently stay in shallow part of the pond to wait for any person to come. and yes, its 'not' fresh water. how can a sea turtle survive till grown up with a fresh water? they(relative) even get the seawater from far place to avoid polluted ones near dirty beach places. they changed it every 2 days so its hell hassle(but not to them). the terrapin is only put there for photo, they are not placed in same pond. although 'sometimes' the terrapin is placed there since wawo likes to play with. the two seems friends(of which i am surprised since terrapin sometimes has territorial characteristic but they never quarrel each other since; i believe the two grew up together when they are kept by that old native). yes, they are planning already to set wawo free sooner since lo-oy pod labi na malambing na kaayo og maamo.


@ choya / soggy

dont say its horrible or cruelty, the words are too superlative. my relative takes care of it well since they love much rare pets like these. its not easy to take care this kind of pet since it needs extreme daily attention & huge patience. it eats time and money. but don't worry, ill talk to my relatives to push through the release asap since malo-oy pod ko due to wawo kinda cuddles much than before which seems he likes to be freed to wide sea due to he is grown up na.

Hi sir.. we do appreciate for the care of the green turtle..but these are sea turtles and not freshwater turts.. The best love that we could give to the green turtle is to release them to the sea..mamatay man tawn sila sir if freshwater nimo ibutang..for example, instead of reaching 40~100+ years..mahimo nalang tawn 10~20 years.. explain to your relatives about this..by doing this, you can give the pawikan his most cherished dream, to be able to return to the sea..and believe me, you'll be happy also knowing that he's happy..You may search the net for philippine green turtles (pawikan)....mao lang ni ako sir.. Thanks..

Please reread what you have quoted above. You have just made my statements redundant. And by the way, I have already searched and studied sea turtles right after the old man turned over them(turtles) to us since it was the only way on how my relatives can take good care of them in an artificial habitat.

@ areon / geobs

indeed but sometimes, treating very well an endangered animal is still not enough.

like us, we cannot be naturally happy having complete appliances, computer, internet connection, girls, and all other things we want but in a cage.
