Residents on Wednesday found a pawikan (sea turtle) dead in Sitio Camarus, Barangay West-Lungsodaan in Garcia Hernandez town.
On a Facebook post, Argen Joseph Galendez, said that a resident found
a lifeless adult sea turtle.
“Kini nakit an lang sa mga bata dinhing dapita. Wala sila masayud og unsay hinungdan sa iyang kamatayon,” he said.
Last month, at least four sea turtles died in Bohol towns.
Under Republic Act 9147, harming and killing endangered animals, including the pawikan, is punishable by law.
