An injured Olive ridleysea turtle was found by a fisherman in the waters of Brgy. Central Tabao, Valladolid, Negros Occidental, recently. The wildlife was turned-over to the Community Environment and Natural Resources (CENRO) in Bago City for veterinary check-up and consultation. It’s feeding behavior and response was monitored as well as its woundstreated with antiseptic wound spray. Although it was given medical attention, the sea turtle has slow response to its stimuli. It has suffered from wound on its tail, has its right hind leg amputated, it has penile prolapse and has a broken carapace at hind part. Two days after the turn-over, it became totally unresponsive and loses its life. It was then buried within the office grounds of CENRO Bago City.
