PoorBest 
Horrified visitors to the Island of Carriacou off the coast of Grenada in the Caribbean—contacted PETA after witnessing the horrific manner in which locals torture sea turtles to death.

Witnesses report seeing these beautiful animals pulled from their ocean home, flipped over onto their backs on dry land, and left to bake to death in the hot sun. A heartbreaking video provided by tourists shows a group of overturned and helpless turtles that flail their flippers in a futile attempt to save themselves.

Upon receiving these calls, PETA sent an urgent letter to Carriacou's minister, Elvin Nimrod, urging him to put a stop to this barbaric and sadistic practice. We have not received a response.

Many countries have outlawed the killing of sea turtles as a result of their dwindling numbers and because of their importance to the ocean's ecosystem. International trade in sea turtle parts or products is also illegal under the Convention for International Trade of Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora. In addition to considering the criminal and environmental significance of this practice, it should also be noted that the method in which these islanders are killing turtles is extremely cruel.

Please politely urge Mr. Nimrod to do anything and everything in his power to end this practice immediately. Inform him that compassionate travelers like you will not visit Carriacou and that you will spread the word about this horrific abuse until it has ceased once and for all.

Please send polite comments to:

The Honorable Elvin Nimrod, Minister
Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs
Beausejour
Carriacou
Grenada, W.I.
