It's the thought that counts. Yeah, she messed up and probably killed that poor tortoise. But, she wasn't trying to kill it. She's not an evil person who purposefully kills tortoises. Just an ignorant, well intentioned girl.trying to help by Drowning a tortoise? we don't need help like that sorry
How about just put it down next to the water and let the animal decide. If it's a turtle it will probably head there.even if she has good intentions its not acceptable to just toss it into the water from that far. gently perhaps.
