    Excerpt
    Boracay Island residents have rescued a young green sea turtle with a speargun arrow sticking out from above its left hind leg. Residents suspect that the arrow has pierced deep into the turtle's body, possibly cutting into its internal organs. Streak of blood oozes from the gash every time the turtle breathes, rescuers said. The speargun arrow has already been removed from the turtle's body.
