local kids set turtle on fire.

in reference to the deer getting shot then running away. Yes it happens, but it is not the intent of a hunter to just wound his prey for fun, but rather to kill the deer as a means of food, do things sometimes go wrong and you only end up wounding the deer, absolutely, but it was not the intent to do so and any hunter worth a shit will do his best to track that deer. The only reason that I can think of to start a turtle (or any animal) on fire is for the (apparant) humor in doing so.

I have some confessions...When I was young and living in a very small town I did some cruel things to animals completely out of boredom. I caught fish and then smashed them with rocks, shot birds with the sole intention of watching them die, chased and ran over rabbits with my snowmobile, etc. This shitty thing is, I don't feel any remorse. Why? Because I was bored and it was fun.

but did the thought ever cross your mind of "hey, lets catch an animal and start it on fire"? Never crossed mine either

I've shot birds and rabbits with BB guns and they ran away.
I've put blackcats in frogs' mouths and watched their heads blow up.
I've run into millions of bugs with the front of my car.
I've put a lit cigarette and lighters on leaches, then left them on a dirt road to dry up and die.
I've hit a rabbit in my car.

OMG did the rabbit live? I'm calling PETA! -
(in best stewie voice) of course the turtle didn't get hurt...that's why it ran as fast as it could when it got started on fire...you know...because it was calm from the flames not hurting...that...that's why it didn't hurt bc it was so hot, bc fire is cold, bc burning on skin doesn't hurt, etc. etc.

I'll stay out of this but throw in something I know about 100%.
Typically lobsters aren't boiled. When they are it is just for show (it's what people expect). Chuck was right lobsters need to be killed while cooked or JUST before being cooked to avoid releasing toxins into their body. It's actually a pretty cool defense...."You can kill me, but once you eat me you too are fucked." To avoid the toxin release you have to pretty much gut a lobster as soon as it dies.
The real way that lobsters are cooked 99% of the time is this.
Lay them on their back and spread their legs/arms open. Run a chef knife into the "sternum" then split the "chest" open to the tail. Open them up like you are going to do heart surgery and clean out ALL internal organs under running water. Put them in a steamer for however long it takes to cook depending on size. All of this needs to be done in a very short time (2ish minutes is what it usually takes).

^^ So your pretty much gutting it alive? So it has no chance to release toxins... Am I correct? Or as soon as you cut the sternum/chest it dies?
Anyways, I like wannabes comment; the turtle could of been freaking out from the fire that was around it, no so much on its shell..
We need an amphibian expert in here.. -

So someone made the comment about the little or young turtles having a weaker shell, I think they are still strong, its their sides that are weak LOL

Hopefully this will solve some of the dilemma

I remember this one time when I was like 10 or something, there was this bull in our neighbors pasture, it had a broken leg, so i decided to fuck with it, I shot it in the head repeatedly with a .22 till I got bored and shot him with the .270. Then I hung him up from a tractor loader, ripped his guts out and skinned him, then to top it off I chopped his head off. I wonder what PETA would think of that.
Then I had the meat processed and we all ate it, and it was delicious. The end.

Ok, for those who think "oh, it was just a quick little fire, it didn't hurt him at all..." I was reminded today of a little "trick" we tried at work for testing heat detectors a while back....we sprayed the metal dome heat detector with a flammable fluid and then started the fluid on fire (trying to achieve a 15* temperature increase within the time of one minute without reaching the "fixed temperature, non-restorable" temperature of 195*) Long story short, it took less than 3 seconds to reach the non-restorable temperature and melted the solder tab completely ruining the device.
In short, that temperature reached nearly 200* INSIDE the heat chamber in less than 3 seconds.

Who really even gives a fuck about this turtle anymore? Let the kids take the punishment the law hands out and drop it. Radio shows, message boards, class, work, etc are wasting hours of their life arguing for the sake of arguing. If this is the worst thing that the region has to complain about, I think life is not that bad.
