A GOPHER TURTLE WAS DELIBERATELY HIT BY A SUV DRIVING
BEHIND ME ON HWY 60. THIS COULD OF BEEN AVOIDED
SINCE THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I CALLED THE SHERIFF
IN POLK COUNTY AND THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO ANOTHER
AREA DEALIN WITH ANIMALS.

I OBTAINED THE LICENSE PLATE OF THE SUV SINCE WHEN I SAW THE TURTLE
I TURNED AROUND ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE TURTLE OFF THE
HIGHWAY. THE DEPARTMENTS RESPONSE WAS THAT SINCE
IT WAS ONLY A TURTLE THEY COULD NOT ISSUE A
TICKET. IF THIS IS THE POLICY FOR PROTECTED
SPECIES, WE NEED TO CHANGE POLK COUNTY ORDINANCES.
IN ADDITION THOSE LAZY COUNTY WORKERS THAT SIT
ON THEIR ASSES AND COLLECT A PAYCHECK NEED TO
BE TERMINATED!!!
