Continuing my attack on the felocracy by way of the cuteness tactic, our weapon of choice this week is the adorable baby turtle.
Cute and environmentally responsible!
Also, Seattle. I took my wife on a few dates to that zoo.

Turtles are cute? Where are the tentacles?
Squee! Turtles are very cool.
Armor rarely looks cute.
These buggers pull it off.

Usually turtles are a good move, but this time Coyne counters effectively with a stomatopod post.
Aww-aw!
Awww! Much cuter than the baby salmon my kids have raised at school for release.
If they didn’t catch all the Red Eared Sliders that have invaded the Western Pond Turtle habitat, they’re just adding protein to the food chain.
I’m seeing a big uptick in the number of pet turtles in the past 2 years. While I do think it’s good to lower the number of carnivorous pets for environmental reasons, taking reptiles out of the wild is a terrible idea.
That’s actually a really interesting video. I like the idea of the project; to give the turtles a growth boost, to get them past their vulnerable stage. Pretty cool.
