The thought of a turtle smoking marijuana would make most people think of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. However recently, social media has been abuzz with outrage over a viral video showing a man putting a weed blunt in the mouth of a turtle, before it falls over from presumably being too high. This has caused an uproar among viewers, who believe that the video is a clear case of animal abuse, while others think people are overreacting.
The video was originally posted on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, where it quickly went viral and sparked a firestorm of debate and reactions. The majority of reactions have been of shock and anger, with many people calling out the man in the video and expressing their disgust at the act. It’s alleged some Animal rights groups have also launched campaigns condemning the footage.
At the same time, there have been some people who have a different opinion about the video; some have even gone so far as to suggest that the turtle may have been having fun, and that the man’s action was not as malicious as it may have seemed. This opinion has drawn criticism from many people on social media, who argue that it is wrong to put an animal in any kind of potentially harmful situation for entertainment purposes. That raises the question is it harmful to make a turtle smoke marijuana, or could it have unknown health benefits?
Overall, the video has caused a great deal of controversy and debate amongst viewers, with opinions ranging from one extreme to the other. While some people seem to agree that the video is a clear case of animal abuse, there are some who think it is possible that the turtle may have been having fun as aforementioned.
As the debate surrounding the viral video rages on, it is important to remain aware of the potential consequences of our actions, and to stay mindful when making decisions that involve animals. For most people this is probably the first time seeing a turtle smoking a weed blunt.
