Another Gopher Tortoise Colony bites the dust....

Posted by Pamela on June 26, 2002 at 18:34:10:

Once again, in the name of progress....a gopher tortoise colony was bulldozed this week near Kingsbay, GA.
I don't know how many gophers were killed... one was found crushed to death...and one was crushed but surviving (so far) and under vet care....

We get all militant whenever someone talks about the demise of endangered turtles and tortoises in 3rd world countries...but we shouldn't forget what's happening to our own protected (and most likely soon to be endangered) species here in our own back yard.
