After the first turtle rescuing at a certain temple, we were regrettably forced to leave the red-eared slider turtles because they're alien species, and because the abbot wanted to keep some turtles in the temple. Yesterday, I was in my favorite teacher's class. And she told us about what happened next.

The power of media is a very powerful power. There was a certain important someone that my teacher didn't tell who he was, He saw how poor the environment is, so he went into the temple, met with the abbot, and said the following :

"Don't you know the Five Precepts? The first one says that you must refrain from killing and torturing animals."

"Can't you see that these animals are in pain? why keep them in such a poor place?"

The abbot was convinced, and called the professor's team to come again and rescue the rest of the animals that were left behind the last time. This time, take the fish too.


Our teacher was delighted, and she prepared a place for the red-eared guys to live in immediately. She found an isolated place that is perfect to let them go without damaging the ecosystem. (I don't know the details.)

And she's going there this Sunday. I'm thinking that I might follow her, if I could study for exam in time. Finals is very close. I cannot be too side-tracked.


still... I want to go.

I'll have to try my best and study right now. :)
