Turtle Shell is Spotted while Raking for Shells – Tourist says ‘It stinks

As far as the residents of Penghu are concerned, the seaside is simply a veritable seafood refrigerator. Grab a spoon and basket, and take a walk along the shore when the tide is out and you can dig yourself out a banquet of shellfish and snails – when you get home you have a wonderfully delicious meal to add to the table.  However recently, locals have been finding turtle shells along the shoreline, giving rise to feelings of both astonishment and sadness.  On closer inspection of the turtle shells, locals have discovered that the shells are devoid of flesh, raising fears that the turtles are being ‘murdered’ for their meat. In addition to destroying the local habitat, this kind of attitude is creating a serious hindrance to local travelers who are nauseated by the stinking shells strewn along the beach.
