Turtles have feelings too. Did you know that picking a turtle up by its shell without supporting the tummy is like being lifted by our finger, toe nails or hair? Founded by Illa Loetscher, affectionately knows as the "Turtle Lady", this enviro-friendly organization is dedicated to caring for and educating the public about endangered sea turtles.
