Flippers Across America

I just love stories like this:

A poor green sea turtle lost three of its flippers and an organization in Texas is trying to outfit it with a prosthetic flipper so that it will have a chance of survival.

Allison (like the turtle in the photograph) was rescued by a family who found her three years ago, injured and bleeding. She will never be able to be released into the wild, but can still lead a productive life in captivity at Sea Turtle, Inc., the organization that helped restore her health, and will help her get a new flipper.

You can read Allison's story here.
