Apr. 4 - Palestinian fishermen catch and kill a giant sea turtle, thought to be a Leatherback, an endangered species.
The rare giant sea turtle caught on a beach near Gaza City was slaughtered and eaten by Palestinian fishermen who said its blood was an aphrodisiac, among other therapeutic qualities. A Reuters cameraman said the fishermen collected the giant turtle's blood and gave it to children suffering from trauma and adults with back problems.

When I lived in Yemen many of local fisherman killed every sea turtle they found. The turtles ate the fish they wanted to catch.

What do they need an aphrodesiac for? They’re not allowed to have much in the way of sex until they get their virgins.

Leatherback is the largest of the turtles. It is an amazing creature. Sad that they killed it.

One report says the blood is an aphrodisiac, that’s the real reason they slit it’s throat I believe.
That or they just like slitting throats of helpless animals, it could be a toss up I guess.

How many young Palestinian girls were raped after these morons ingested the turtle blood? Someone should start a rumor over there that says drinking rat poison will turn them into Big John Stud.

The leatherback’s main food source is jellyfish. As the leatherback population declines, jellyfish populations have exploded.
