TURTLES

I think that Veolia Indianapolis Water Company is so stupid. Their idea is not going to really have that big of an impact on the canal but it will have a huge impact for all its wild life that call it a home. They will be killing a mass amount of turtles and other animals such as muskrats. They came out and only told us about the muskrats because naturally the reaction you see on a persons face when they hear muskrat is not usually one of satisfaction, they think they are pests. However, people found out about all the turtles this process would be killing. People LOVE turtles, I love turtles. They are not doing any harm why would be want them to disappear. Many people were outraged by what would happen to the turtles, and how they would no longer be able to see them in their everyday life, which is fascinating, I love turtles, and what they are doing is just absolutely wrong. Zoology plays a big role in this because of how we can see what environment these animals are better suited for, and how they reproduce. If this were to occur then the population numbers in turtles would drop significantly until they are completely gone.
