You shuldnt go around insulting people like that especially people who put thier lives on the line every day to protect others. Dont get me wrong you have the right to express yourself, but but not to attack someone for trying help someone who asked for help even when they are ill equipped. He also called the Fish and Game Commision and they said “Its not our problem.” So, if you are mad at any one it should be your supposedly wildlife officals at the Game Commision. You should also know there is a first time for everything.Out of the numerous time you have studied turtles this could have been the time your results changed not every animal or living thing is the same. You could do billions of studies and they could all be the same then number billion and one could be totaly diffrent from them all and change everything. You should do the honorable and right thing and appologize to the officer for insulting him so.
I mean turtles are killed all the time by cars flying down the country roads and there isnt really anything being done about that.
I guess what Im trying to say is that _YOU!!_ are a sad and very ugly person who i hope is never put any situtation that calls for you to do anything out side your so call profession.

After viewing the picture in the Times Leader of the snapping turtle shot by Galli, I was amazed that a turtle that size could weigh 50 pounds. The 50 pound turtle shown in Chelydra’s link is much bigger than the one Galli so callously killed. It’s difficult to call Galli an officer let alone a peace officer. Anyway I know they couldn’t have weighed that turtle and if they had, it probably weighed between 25 to 30 pounds and that was before Galli pumped two rounds of lead into it. People like Galli shouldn’t be wearing a uniform and definitely should not be allowed to carry a gun.

Convincing people (or companies) to say they’re sorry when they’ve made a mistake is often the hardest job in PR. The officer involved could have nipped the controversy in the bud simply by expressing regret.
