Sea turtle in Zamboanga del Sur found dead with hack wounds on neck


A sea turtle was found dead floating in the waters off Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur with hack wounds on its neck.

According to a report on Balitanghali on Saturday, local children were playing near the seashore when they spotted the floating carcass of the sea turtle.

Based on the authorities' investigation, the sea turtle have been dead for days now and the hack wounds could mean that the animal was slaughtered before it was left in the sea.

Because the sea turtle was in the advance stage of decomposition, authorities decided to bury the sea turtle already. — Kaela Malig/MDM, GMA News
