This turtle clearly had a problem it was literally struggling but the big turtles that can get barnicles or crabs and are fine with them these are who you dont want to remove barnicles and waste their energy and hurt them

@@lolxd4318 The barnacles actually harm the turtle, if you leave them to grow it would've given it an infection ( Its fine if it's on the shell sometimes ) if the barnacle was on the skin bit. It's advised to remove the barnacles though.
Its okay to let these stuff on the turtle unless if its plastic or other manmade stuff or if its obviously making hurting the turtle, removing the barnacles from the shells can hurt the turtle since the shells are basically just their spine, its nature's work leave it alone.
Also, it's illegal to catch, touch and do this to a sea turtle if you're not state or federally licensed to do so. He could literally be fined a lot of money and arrested. So, to the people not doing this, keep it up.
As sweet as this is it's important people know how sensitive turtles are and the things stuck to their back can hurt them when being pulled off and cause deadly infections if not properly cleaned....
You zoomers are brain dead. That was very painful for the turtle. Imagine somebody ripping out your fingernails and throwing you back not expecting any infections to develop and congratulating themselves. You do not remove things off of a turtle shell just because those things don't belong there..
All the people praising this dude helping this turtle. He didn’t help the turtle, he made it worse. Learn how turtles are and get affected. Their shell is not just some form of protection. They feel through it as well and it’s not good nor is okay for the turtle to have those removed. It hurts them
I have been into a turtle center, where they save and take care of the sea turtles cause its endangered and we got to realease them! Im happy for that guy
Highly doubtful it’s staged, but the turtle is probably doomed anyway. A healthy turtle wouldn’t be floating around on the surface in broad daylight like that, and if its only issue was all the barnacles it would have dived once he was released back into the water. The fact it stayed on the surface while swimming away makes me think it is very close to dying.
The moss, barnacles, and sore on the belly are all real. Barnacles can grow in a matter of days, and that turtle is at least months old. It was probably just sick and unable to clean itself.
Ultra dumb comment. The mineralization and sores look legit, and take time. Barnacles were the scourge of Charles Darwin. He said he hated nothing in the world as much as a barnacle because they are baffling in so many ways. Their ability to be everywhere (and biological anomalies at the time) are almost otherworldly.

@@Readysetgo2007 this is actually the correct answer!
@@UnoDosTom Yeah... I wouldn't want to leave it like that and call someone and then not know if that someone found the turtle. Better to transport the turtle to the wildlife center yourself if possible.
Haters
We need more of that around here. He’s a good guy.👍🏻
No the turtle died from a disease cause he touched him cause he removed a protective layer
@@lolxd4318 The barnacles actually harm the turtle, if you leave them to grow it would've given it an infection ( Its fine if it's on the shell sometimes ) if the barnacle was on the skin bit. It's advised to remove the barnacles though.
Thanks for rescuing the turtle .May God bless the people who saved the turtle and the turtle. Wish the turtle a happy and healthy life.❤
Respect, hope the turtle lives a longer life thanks to u!

It's good that God blessed us with hands to help us and help others who unfortunately don't have them, like animals
They have survived and evolved for millions of years without hands.
@@adamgardener8624 yeah
@@adamgardener8624 we wouldnt have survived without hands tho, thats for sure
@@ThisIsMuFin why not ? Turtles do.
@@adamgardener8624 because we're not turtles...? are you good
he was a very kind person to save him from not swimming😊
Except for hot-gluing things onto an innocent turtle, yeah a very kind person....
Honest to god it’s little things like this that really make my day
That’s the definition of saving the turtles ❤️
We need more people like this in the world!
Did you know there's a good chance the person that made this video glued those barnacles on for the video, and it hurts the turtle.
That guy saw him from a jet ski & stopped to help him? Bravo!
Thank you kind human 😊🙏🏻
Hes been through alot in his short life. Bless his heart❤️
Not all heroes wear capes, some ride jet skis.
Kudos to that man. Most other people would pass the turtle and leave him to die 🫡
Most people don’t have a jet ski, but it’s nice to know there’s someone out there with one who also has a heart of gold 🫡
Its okay to let these stuff on the turtle unless if its plastic or other manmade stuff or if its obviously making hurting the turtle, removing the barnacles from the shells can hurt the turtle since the shells are basically just their spine, its nature's work leave it alone.
Also, it's illegal to catch, touch and do this to a sea turtle if you're not state or federally licensed to do so. He could literally be fined a lot of money and arrested. So, to the people not doing this, keep it up.
We need more people like this
Thanks for saving the turtle it would probably be Dead if you didn't do what you did for this turtle God bless you sir
As sweet as this is it's important people know how sensitive turtles are and the things stuck to their back can hurt them when being pulled off and cause deadly infections if not properly cleaned....
The salt water should help heal the wounds
Always that one nigga crying
@@JAM_2024 💀💀💀
You think they’re better off with the barnacles on?
@@memenazi7078 is that what I said? No, it isn't.
He felt every bit of that
cool, but i dont think id rather choose a struggle for life over some pain
"I performed life saving surgery"
"But the patient feels pain"
"Oh well; guess all my effort was wasted."
He felt every bit of entire fucking barnacles growing out of him 💀
You zoomers are brain dead. That was very painful for the turtle. Imagine somebody ripping out your fingernails and throwing you back not expecting any infections to develop and congratulating themselves. You do not remove things off of a turtle shell just because those things don't belong there..
1. What everybody has already said
2. He did it quite genially, and didn’t use a knife, like other, whic would actually really hurt
I Love turtle 🐢❤
❤ we need more people like him ❤
people that glue things on animals? no thanks
I have always tried to help animals❤ we needed more people like this
“Past simple… Not so simple”.
This HURTS the turtle btw
There is a special spot in heaven for people like this 😊
We need more people like him
That was very nice and that is a very cute small Turtle 🐢
We need more people that don’t ignore we need more people like that guy❤😢
He glueed those rocks, filmed it and tore them off, causing the tortoise unimaginable pain.
@@rainyfox2eally? I knew that ripping off the barnacles was a very bad thing but this is even worse.
Aww thank goodness he saved him. He’s so cute when he swims! ❤
God bless him man 🙏🏻
All the people praising this dude helping this turtle. He didn’t help the turtle, he made it worse. Learn how turtles are and get affected. Their shell is not just some form of protection. They feel through it as well and it’s not good nor is okay for the turtle to have those removed. It hurts them
What's worse being hurt for a bit or dieing
It’s the little things that tell you someone is pure of heart
Most people wouldn’t notice this. We need more people like this in the world, this makes my heart melt ❤️
I truly believe it's part of our duties as humans to help/save animals and beings weaker than us. Good job!
As nice and sweet as this is this actually hurts the turtle. Still nice to see ppl have the heart to do something like this tho
I love human people. Helping animals is very commendable.
I have been into a turtle center, where they save and take care of the sea turtles cause its endangered and we got to realease them! Im happy for that guy
That is a true human being that cares a animal with life
we need more of these people in the world
So heartwarming this boy is so kind
The crab chilling on the turtle really made me itch 🫤
Thanks bro love you 💕❤
There’s no way that turtle had barnacles at such a young age the creator must’ve done something to the poor turtle
I highly doubt it
Highly doubtful it’s staged, but the turtle is probably doomed anyway. A healthy turtle wouldn’t be floating around on the surface in broad daylight like that, and if its only issue was all the barnacles it would have dived once he was released back into the water. The fact it stayed on the surface while swimming away makes me think it is very close to dying.
Could be either one, barnacles are a plague on the ocean so I don't think it would be impossible.
The moss, barnacles, and sore on the belly are all real. Barnacles can grow in a matter of days, and that turtle is at least months old. It was probably just sick and unable to clean itself.
Ultra dumb comment. The mineralization and sores look legit, and take time. Barnacles were the scourge of Charles Darwin. He said he hated nothing in the world as much as a barnacle because they are baffling in so many ways. Their ability to be everywhere (and biological anomalies at the time) are almost otherworldly.
Go turtle go 🐢 ❤tysm for helping him ❤
He did It and then he made it seems like hes a hero
I love animals❤ ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
this made my day... we need more ppl like him to help animals. he could just leave him but he dident and i love animals so this made my day
This is the type of stuff that gives me faith in humanity
Staged videos.
Because without turtles we wouldn't have any turtles..... Periodt✨
I bet that turtle felt so relieved!
Tutel 😢😊
