Kindhearted Man Buys Turtles from the Food Market to Release Them into the Ocean

G'day mate! How're ya going? I have another 'good' story for you today so fill your mug with some freshly roasted and brewed coffee. Snag a virtual doughnut or muffin or two. Why not, eh? Where else can you enjoy doughnuts without the calories? Nowhere on this planet!  Hey...I'm slowly getting to the story...

A kind-hearted man recently melted the hearts of millions after saving two majestic sea turtles from the food market and returning them safely into the ocean. Aaron Culling, from New Zealand, recently posted photographs of the rescue operation on Facebook, describing how he and a co-worker purchased the turtles for about US$33, and then released them back into their natural habitat.

“Found these at the local market got them for 50 bucks drove 5km up the road and let them go,” Culling posted along with the photographs, which have now been shared over 85,000 times. He also revealed that these aren’t the first turtles he’s set free – he’s bought and released at least 10 in the past, along with his co-worker.

Inspired by the overwhelming response he has received on social media, Aaron started a Facebook page called ‘Turtlepower’, dedicated to saving the “amazing creatures from being eaten.” The comments and reactions he’s getting are overwhelmingly positive, with people offering to send him donations so he can set more turtles free.

“If you want to do it again – I’ll send you $50,” one commenter wrote.
Another wrote: “You have a heart of gold. God will bless you and your family.”

“Karma will come back to you when you least expect it Uncle Aaron and it will be amazing,” his own niece commented.

I believe in karma so I wholeheartedly agree with the above comment. Good on you, Aaron!

See ya, eh!
