The Global Conservation Group is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the fatal beating of a snapping turtle at the Delbrook Golf Course in Delavan, Wisc., on June 10 between 7:30 and 9:30 a.m.
The female turtle, looking for a place to lay her eggs, was found lying in the sand in a bunker with holes in its shell. She was also struck in the right eye, a wound which appeared to have been from a golf club. Investigators looked for her eggs but were unable to find them.
Anyone with information about this case should call the DNR hotline at 1-800-TIP-WDNR or 1-800-847-9367. Callers can remain anonymous.
