Why do people kill green sea turtles for their blood and meat?

Answer 1

We (people) constantly pollute the ocean. The ocean over time is turning to acid. The destruction of the ocean causes the green sea turtle as well as all life in the ocean to die. Also, sea life is the oceans filter and as a result of constantly diminishing sea life and the constant rate at which we pollute the ocean is causing the ocean to turn to acid at a much higher rate than ever before.

Acidification is not the only problem for green sea turtles. The biggest problem is marine debris, which kills hundreds of turtles globally. Nets, fishing lines, and injested hooks are just a few. Also fibropapillomatosis, a herpes based virus, has infected many hundreds of greens in many locations. Most researchers believe this virus comes from toxins in the runoffs affecting the seaweed that greens eat. Yet another problem is the injestion of cigarette butts, which have all those destructive chemicals, thrown on beaches and ending up in their grazing areas.
