Apr. 4 - Palestinian fishermen catch and kill a giant sea turtle, thought to be a Leatherback, an endangered species.
"The rare giant sea turtle caught on a beach near Gaza City was slaughtered and eaten by Palestinian fishermen who said its blood was an aphrodisiac, among other therapeutic qualities. A cameraman said the fishermen collected the giant turtle's blood and gave it to children suffering from trauma and adults with back problems."--Reuters
I am not a big animals rights activist...BUT, something about this video made me feel ashamed of the occasional (or arguably frequent) inhumanity of humanity...
The following quote seems appropriate:
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe"-Albert Einstein
