"Dead or not it's still wrong and inhuman (sic), like do we think it's acceptable to stand on the back of a dead human being? No. So it's not alright to stand on the back of a dead animal," one person wrote."

The fact that this drivel was printed is a clear indication that their is a butt hurt SJW out there who is an entrenched member of the offence industry and cannot make a distinction between reality and their own dumb **** complaining...

Suppose everyone's entitled to their opinion including me and yes there are bigger issues around.

Was just highlighting what an insensitive thing these pair did and not a good example to show our kids, and tourist's of which there would have been many visiting at the time.

I take it your not a 4WD fan and have never been to Fraser ?, I'm not a "greeny" far from it but think there needs to be a bit more respect for our environment etc.

So what should they be charged with, displaying Disrespectful Conduct to a Dead Turtle in a Public Place?

Of course if they were indigenous, they'd be hunting, killing and eating turtles. Surely this is wrong, isn't it?

Be interested in hearing what your view is regarding roadkill? If you've ever hit/killed a critter, how do you sleep at nights?

I did say it was an act of stupidity, also I'm into conservation of wildlife & fauna & no I'm not a greenie so please do not assume anything about me.

Damn some people are slow. Its hardly a good look for a photo like that to be plastered over social media. What happens when the next lot of bogans come along and find a sick turtle who can't defend itself and 'surf' it?

Brain dead.

It's dead...who cares?

I'll sit up and take notice when the media, the RSPCA, and Animals Australia (one of the most vocal animal rights groups) step up and speak out about the thousands of endangered sea turtles and dugongs killed by indigenous people every year.

Either an animal is endangered or it's not...

My thoughts are exactly the same- idiots, although not so much the kids, but the adults who allowed it.

By this logic, slaughtering animals is murder and eating meat is cannibalism ?
