I doubt it was a sea turtle if it was living in a pond at an apartment complex, so unlikely to be a federal offense.
What difference does that make?
It makes no difference to the turtle, but it could make a BIG difference to the defendants, based on whether or not there are federal charges involved for torturing an endangered species.

I realize the criminal penalties would be different. However, there should be no difference as to one's response to torture of a life.

What about them attacking a Disabled Vet escapes you?

So this story does not address the use of a concealed handgun, but it got me to wondering. In a situation like this, where the agressors were clearly doing something morally/ethically wrong, and presumably illegal, but they are not attacking you, your wife, your child, your dog......in fact, they are torturing a wild animal that belongs to nobody.....it made me ask:

Would any of you interfered? If not, why not? If yes, based on what reasoning?

If yes, would the situation have justified getting your hand on a weapon first?

At what point, if any, did the (human) victim's actions become defensible or indefensible?

This, mostly.[/quote

Putting the animal cruelty aside, once the scum lay a hand on me, I'm fearing for my life and lead flies.
