A green sea turtle that was found with a 3-foot-long spear in its neck is the latest in a string of attacks on the endangered species in Florida this year, according to reports.
The 150-pound turtle, which has been named “Splinter,” was discovered in distress entangled in trapline on Carysfort Reef off of Key Largo by a boater. It was found with a spear that went through more than half of its body on Sept. 7, reported Fox 35 Orlando.
