I'm kind of upset that they bowed to pressure and threw a living creature in the trash.

Neytiri? No sympathy from me towards either turtle or girl.

And throwing a pet in the trash? Why?

Everybody knows you throw turtles in the toilet and flush them, not in the trash. Duh!!

Or you just stock up on bleach.

Not sure what to think of this story, especially with the conflicting reports about whose idea it was to throw the turtle away.

They got past Airport Security, check in, and boarding with the turtle. The time for flight crew to get a cramp in the taint about flying with a reptile was then, not while the plane's getting ready for take off.

Also, considering the skin similarities, the turtle's name should've been Quaritch.

I hope that turtle mutates, learns ninjitsu, and gets its revenge.

The girl, 10, asked the security agent, an adult, if that's what she had to do. The agent could have been a human being and said "No sweety, you don't have to throw away your turtle, can we hang on to it while your dad comes back to get it?".

Fault: Air Tran. Fucking assholes.

As a long time admirer of terapins this story hits me like a sack of bricks. What a horrible situation. The idea of throwing a living creature "in the trash" makes my skin crawl. Without even gettig into the fact that many "pet" turtles are in fact members of endangered species ( the Vietnamese painted box turtle is a pet shop favorite), this seems like an extraordinarily cruel way to handle the situation. But hey, at least the plane was freed from the threat or turtle weilding terrorists.. Or something.

EDIT: PS

Am I the only one who thinks AVATAR would have been way more awesome if the Na'vi had resembled turtles?

That turtle was most certainly not too fat to fly.

More probable? She'll wait for some iguana disguised as a turtle by wearing a pot on its back to tame some fabled sewer alligator and take her revenge for her.
