Homesteader Days Hardy Arkansas.

Did you know a Box turtle only roams 1 mile its whole life? If it is removed from its area/home then for the rest of its life it will roam aimlessly stressed out... trying to find "home" until it dies a very sad death.

Please do not remove turtles. Do not take them home as pets. If one is injured please mark the exact spot found for the wildlife center. If a turtle is in the road you can help by moving it directly across the street in the direction it was heading. Thank you!

I post this every few months because it's not really known. Many people think it is harmless to let their children take home a docile turtle to play with and release it someplace they see appropriate. I was once that kid. Please share the knowledge.

The turtle races at Homesteader days or anyplace else is crewel and unnecessary. Please put a stop to this open and blatant cruelty now.

Other than the cruelty put on these poor turtles Homesteader Days was very nice experience.

Just saw this topic on the news yesterday.
Didn't know that about their territory, but then, didn't know much about Box Turtles, other than it is pretty much a fools errand to try to send them back the way they came. We used to find them when working in the field (family farm) and, unless they had already crossed the area to be worked, the only think we could reasonably do was take them to the edge of the field they were heading to.
