Turtle Ranch Tragedy

It was a sad, sad day at the Muhlig Turtle Ranch. Madelyn and I came home to discover that there had been a massacre at the ranch. Turtle number 4 was on the deck and was frantically looking for his escape. I looked over at the ranch to see that the lid had been pushed off. When we arrived on the scene there were noticeable scratch marks where the suspect had found his/her entry. A few feet from the ranch turtles numbers 2 and 3 were belly up and headless. Turtle number 1 either made his escape or his remains will show up in a day or two. The worst part of it all is that the killer is among us. How do we know this? Because Madelyn confessed that she didn't latch the gate to the dog pen and it was quite obvious that one of our furry friends was the killer. We have it narrowed down to Belle or Jack because Chance just wouldn't have the heart to kill a poor, defenseless turtle.
I picked up victims 2 and 3 and threw them over the fence and when it rains they will make their way to the neighborhood pond for a proper burial. Madelyn didn't seem real distraught over the massacre. She was happy that there was still one turtle on her ranch. However, she did mention we would have to postpone the turtle rodeo until we find more turtles.
This was taken last week when Madelyn was training the turtles to follow the leader. RIP number 2 and 3 and maybe number 1.
