Sea Turtle Cage in Cape Fear

As human population is getting larger and larger, wild animal territory is being squeezed to become smaller and smaller. Sea turtles travel thousands of miles to go back to their birth place to lay eggs. From the statistics, only 1 out of 1000 newly born sea turtles will come back to its birth place. Sea turtle is now an endanger animal on earth. We simply can not allow sea turtle to disappear and we just have to help out.

On 23th July 2010 in the evening, we walked around the beach area at Cape Fear in Bald Head Island. We saw a lot of these cages protecting the sea turtle eggs underneath. The sign next to the cage actually says that it is illegal to even disturb the sea turtle eggs. Violation will result from $100,000 in fine and 1 year maximum jail time. We also saw a red fox running around the beach. We are hoping that the fox would obey the human law not to dig the eggs or do something nasty. Putting the fox in jail would not be a wise thing to do.
