Thai Surgeons Remove 915 Coins Swallowed by Sea Turtle: Veterinarians in Bangkok have operated on a 25-year-old, female green sea turtle, to remove 915 coins weighing over 11 pounds, coins fed to the turtle by tourists who believed that pitching coins at the turtle - would give them good luck.
Well, I do have to admit, I’m a bit shocked by all of this. I mean, who knew turtles had money problems also? To be honest, I’d also like to throw in my two cents worth here too, but I suppose that’s the last thing this poor turtle needs at this stage of the game.
Now, when you think about it, what these damn “luck-seeking” tourists have done, is basically turn this poor, helpless turtle, into kind of a floating vending machine. Meanwhile, after the turtle left surgery, doctors continued to monitor, just to see if they could see any “change” in the patient.
Anyway, I have to report that sadly, this story doesn’t have a very happy ending. Turns out, that shortly after doctors surgically removed all those coins, the turtle suddenly realized it doesn’t have a penny to its name - and immediately to file for bankruptcy.
