Backyard Menace


We caught a snapping turtle in our turtle trap! It was (what I thought) huge! It must have been many years old with the size that it was. Notice that I keep saying the word "WAS". Well, Daddy killed it. He took his gun out and shot it in the head. Why did he do this horrible thing? Because we have been advised by lots of "pond people" that snapping turtles will destroy your pond. We have stocked the pond with 150 cat fish and we do not want them to be eaten by anything (besides us!)So this is the latest drama at the Barron home. To kill or not to kill...that is the question!
