Palestinians Slaughter Endangered Animal, Reuters Excuses
What does it take to get Reuters to defend the brutal slaughter of a rare endangered animal for superstitious reasons?
Simple: the killers just need to be Palestinians.
Rare turtle slaughtered in Gaza.
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.
