Well, while both my pond and I are in PA, that snapping turtle had a big West Virginia assist.
I find this a little hard to believe. There wasn't a stew pot in sight.
First -- not only did the turtle have a West Virginia "assist" it also had a WV accent. The whole thing was a really bad situation that may yet end up on "60 Minutes."
Of all things, it was a WV lawyer who arranged (a boot in the butt) to give the critter complete freedom without a trial!
As for a stew pot, as Sunil's post mentions, there were two pots 25-30 gallon pots at my place, ready for the
taste trial!
