Atlantic Sea Turtle
Please help me and my species! We are the Atlantic sea turtle, we are very endangered, and we need your help. One of the reasons that we are endangered is that they kill turtles for our texture and skins to make clothing and accessories. Another is when you go boating with your family the oil from your boat pollutes our water so some of us die because it gets stuck in our lungs. And the worst thing is when you litter, the baby turtles try to go after the litter and try to eat it, then it gets stuck in their throat or they get it stuck around their necks and they suffocate. And last and more important of all when you see us swimming in the water please don't touch us because it hurts when you push us under and I don't think you want to be pushed under. Please help, to the world you are just one person but to a person you are the world!
