加勒比海的開曼群島上的「開曼海龜中心」，除了讓觀光客去跟海龜共游拍照之外，還販賣海龜肉供食用！😱😱😱
---
這個政府經營的機構，裡頭飼養了無數綠蠵龜。許多搭乘加勒比海遊輪的乘客，都會被載到這裡來跟海龜一起游泳拍照。把海龜抱起來拍照已經很過分了，這家海龜中心居然還賣海龜大餐，因為海龜肉也是開曼島當地居民的一個食用肉類來源！！😭😭😭
食用海龜還不是動物保護協會生氣的點。這家開曼海龜中心飼養海龜的方式又極端的過頭，根本是虐待海龜！！海龜是獨來獨往的動物，一輩子會在全世界大海長途漫遊數千公里。但在這裡，卻是幾百隻海龜被養在一個小池子裡，連呼吸的空間都沒有。每天都會互相攻擊，大部份的海龜都斷手斷腳的傷痕累累。每天都要撈出死海龜丟棄，還曾經發生細菌感染而有大批海龜死亡的事件。😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
他們之前都號稱有做保育，但卻是把蓄養海龜孵出的寶寶隨便野放。這不僅會有疾病疑慮，還有基因不全問題。這更是這家海龜中心掩飾他們虐待動物的方式！！💔💔💔
.
做包套遊輪旅遊經常都會帶去這種地方，而我們實在很難得知哪些地方是愛護動物哪些是虐待動物的假保育機構。大家一定要抵制這個地方！動物，就讓我們在大自然裡靜靜地跟他們相遇就好了～～～🐢🐢🐢🐢

嗚嗚我以後去開曼群島一定要自己帶泡麵去。要是不小心吃到海龜肉怎麼辦~~~我心碎了！💔💔💔

This Cayman Turtle Center on the Cayman Island in Caribbean not only let tourists swim with and hug turtles, it also sells turtle meat for food!!!😱😱😱
---
This government-owned facility is farming numerous endangered green turtles. Many tourists from cruise ships all come here and swim with and take selfies with them. Hugging turtles outside of the water is already too much, this turtle center also serves them turtle meat because it is part of the protein source of the locals!!😭😭😭
Eating turtles is not even what upsets the World Animal Protection the most. The way this turtle center farms these turtles is actually animal abuse!! Turtles are solitary animals that can migrate for thousands of km in the ocean in her life. But in here, hundreds of turtles are kept in a small pool and hardly have any space to breathe. They attack each other everyday and most turtles are injured or missing fins. Everyday the workers would have to fish out dead turtles from the pool. There was even a bacteria infection that caused loads of turtle death once! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
They claimed they made conservation efforts. But all they did was to release some farmed hatchlings. This could not only cause some contamination of diseases, but also compromising genetic diversity. They also use this to cover up their animal abuse!!💔💔💔
Traveling with cruise ships often include visiting this kind of centers. It can be hard to discern whether one animal center is good or bad. We MUST resist this particular turtle center!! Let's just meet them in wild without harassing them~~~🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
.
If I ever find myself traveling to the Cayman Island, I am going to bring tons of ramen noodles because I don't want to risk accidentally eat turtle meat~~~ My heart is broken!💔💔💔
