A few days later a woman writes in accusing environmentalist overreacting, and that soon she will not be able to experience the simple joy of her grandchildren letting balloons fly away at birthday parties. I felt like responding to her with a suggestion to let her grandchildren attend a sea turtle necropsy at the aquarium.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-5757186216125248882013-10-02T20:35:55.806-04:002013-10-02T20:35:55.806-04:00A happy event for St Louis, it looks like he made ...A happy event for St Louis, it looks like he made a snow turtle/angel in the sand before he left.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-89942056097286433852013-10-02T19:38:03.511-04:002013-10-02T19:38:03.511-04:00Love the "clueless or careless" descript...Love the "clueless or careless" description.

I hope he has a safe journey. It is great places like this exist that can help animals like him. I see balloons set to air quite a bit and cringe every time. It really is not an occasion to tell the parents about their kids though. It needs to driven home with a PBS special, or on blogs such as yours.
