Why in Database: Some of the protesters are people associated with the protection of turtles, especially sea turtles. You can see people dressed as turtles, turtle balloons or banners with a turtle skeleton. Turtles also appear in speech several times, of which once in a long speech with a sad punch line, which we quote below, under the screenshots.
– Next time we save some turtles, you should come along with us.
– I think I’d like that.
– Yeah.
– Why turtles?
– When I was a little kid, my grandfather, he told me this cool story about how all the animals, you know, they made fun of this one little turtle because he was different. You know, he couldn’t defend hisself, so of course, they picked on him. But being he was a turtle, he was smart. So he developed this hard shell, and that only made the animals mad, so they picked him up, threw him in the river, and then he broke his shell into, like, a dozen pieces.
– Poor turtle.
– Yeah, they got him good, but he was tough. You know, he picked hisself back up, put himself back together. And even though, you know, this time his shell was cracked, it was stronger than ever, and that’s why turtles have such beautiful patterns on their shells.
– And then what happened?
– Well, because of the WTO, they made him into an ashtray.
