Signing this petition is important because of the huge impact it has on our environment and the animals that live in it.
So many marine mammals suffer death and injuries from single use plastic; such as, plastic straws. Imagine a world where our only experience with animals would be from an AI simulation?
These innocent creatures have done nothing to hurt humans. They do not have a voice themselves. Please, let's do out best to protect the innocent, sweet creatures that coexist with us.
Please take this matter seriously! I have visited Curaçao three times and want to come back, but what is happening at Playa Piskado really bothers me. I have traveled to many Caribbean islands and have never seen a place where people are allowed to treat sea turtles this way. As tourism grows in Curaçao it will only get worse if it is allowed to continue. If the turtles are too unhealthy to nest, it will impact their numbers. In other words, this isn’t a sustainable form of tourism. Please do something to protect the turtles!
I’ve seen the abuse myself on playa Piskado with the sea turtles. It was absolutely horrifying how this local guy on the pier slams a stick on the pier to call in the turtles. He literally shoves fish in their mouth, even if the turtle doesn’t want to, then he grabs them and will rub the turtle on people. These turtles are extremely obese and they can’t hunt for themselves anymore. I was shocked to see this is still happening in 2025! This needs to stop!
