And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Whoo-ee, that is one godzilla of a snapper. Would not want to be anywhere it lives. Ooops, I grew up in S. America (the more civilized parts) but luckily the largest ones were only about 18" in shell size, still stayed away from em, even small ones can easily bite off a finger or take a chunk out of other parts.
Snapping Turtle?
