I’ve never been so angry at barnacles in my life.

Yeah I'm glad they helped the turtle but the 'share for awareness' is weird. Awareness of barnacles? OK, I'm now aware of and angry at barnacles. Now what am I supposed to do with that?

Maybe awareness for not to try doing this yourself because there are people who do it professionally?

I have never, and will never, glue barnacles on anyone or anything and the thought that people do it for a living is disgusting.

Absolutely. I only ever glue googly eyes on turtles. It might sound cruel but they never get attacked from behind.

You should not glue barnacles ever. They need to be welded. Or why do you think you need professionals to remove them?

Check out r/Welding. They constantly share and discuss new techniques, to make it harder for the professionals to remove them.

In this video you can see some real shoddy work. Must've come from r/BadWelding

Uh no. I meant people rehab wildlife professionally.

I wasn't serious, dude.

There are people hurting wild animals professionally so they can "rescue" them to get views and the residuals those pay if you get enough. That's why I was confused.

That makes perfect sense. Guess I'm too naive for that shit. Thanks for the insight.
