I think this is really sad because he never gets to grow. I think that it sad becuase when he was a baby he was in the ocean and there was food in the ocean. Then there was this piece of plastic and and when he was a baby, that plastic went around his stomach and then he started to get bigger. He couldn't grow because of that plastic and that's why I think that is so sad:( -Bianca

Yo pienso que la tortuga iso muy mal porque, cuando era beibi de un modo se metio en un plastico yse le quedo el plastico adentro, ahora que esta grande se le iso la cintura muy chiquita, con el plastico por dentroeso le va causar mucho dano para su cuerpo.

I think it is bad because it could kill the animal. When he was a baby her mom was so sad that her baby could die. The plastic is killing the animals that live in the ocean:(-SARA

I think he feels bad about having this plastic on his body because when he wants to eat more then he can eat he will feel pressure and maybe he will die. If someone wants to take this off, maybe the turtle will die and he never had more food then he can have. I think this is so sad too, because this turtle never will be able to grow more then he can grow. That is why I never want the people to throw the trash in the ocean. This is an example of how animals can be hurt by humans. -Maria G.

Que de chica la tortuga nadava por el oceano y se le atoro un plastico e iva cresiendo con el plastico atorado y despues unas personas que la miraron querian quitqrselo pero no podian y asi se lo dejaron.
Que debemos cuidar el oceano y no contaminarlo por eso hay muchas especies en pekigro de extincion.

This picture also makes me feel bad that it is human activity that has caused this poor turtle to suffer. Humans create so many problems for animals and their habitats, yet the animals are helpless to stop these terrible things from happening. This is a very sad picture to see, but it is just one of many. This turtle is lucky to be alive. Thousands of animals--if not more--die each year from polluted and contaminated habitats. As the smartest and most capable species on this planet, we need to start doing more to protect and conserve wildlife, and less to harm it.

The turtle probably died because of people throwing trash in the ocean. So we need to save the animals of the ocean.The people need to recycle.

I think that this turtle is going to die young because she has like a waist with a very tiny stomach. I think that peolpe slould recycle because that is why the global warming is like that and other animals would die.-Isaac

We put trash in rivers, lakes or oceans. Animals that live here think that the plastic is food and they eat it by accidenet and they die because of our carelessness. -Joel
