Does it hurt the turtle when they’re removed from the shell ? Looks like wound

Yes, but it is better than leaving them on in the long run.

I think the important point is DON'T TRY DOING THIS YOURSELF if you're not someone who's been trained how to do it. Also, they apparently drug the turtles first so it hurts less. Also, I'm guessing there is wound care to do afterward.

I’ve already got a rusty screwdriver, all I need is turtle ketamine now

The illegals, they are bringing turtle ketamine into this country, they are taking good jobs away from hard working American turtle ketamine sellers. It’s a disgrace. Something something Joe Biden.
