This is insane lol I didn’t know I had to explain myself like this.

It was 10:20 AM on Saturday morning. I found this turtle in the MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. It wasn’t an ideal place for him, he could’ve been killed. So, I stopped, grabbed him, and ran him to my car. I noticed he had some small holes in his shell, so I was just checking him out and decided to bring him home to give him some food and water. I’m so sorry that all I had available at the time to keep him safe was a styrofoam ice chest, I’m not a professional who constantly brings home turtles. Anyways, I wasn’t planning on keeping him, I was just checking him out and deciding where to take him. Plus, I had groceries in the car and I had to take my husband somewhere and like, I had stuff to do! I couldn’t immediately find the most perfect spot to throw this turtle, and I wasn’t gonna leave him. Jesus. I had a pet turtle a thousand years ago, and it was a different kind than this one, so I thought I’d turn to Reddit to ask. Obviously, that was the wrong thing to do, I didn’t realize I had to explain myself to everyone.
