Turtle to be treated

turtle revered as a symbol of the country’s centuries-old struggle for independence.
Crowds gathered on the shores of Hanoi’s polluted Hoan Kiem Lake as divers and experts in small boats slowly tried to move the turtle, which weighs about 200kg, to a nearby islet for treatment using a net.
Local media reported that the turtle has been injured by fish hooks and small red-eared turtles which have appeared in the lake in recent years.
“It is very precious for Vietnamese,” said Dang Giao Huan (66) a retired soldier who saw the wounds on the animal’s soft shell when it surfaced a few days ago. – AFP.
