Oh yeah if they're native to our place heck no, I thought snapping turtles are exotic pets from somewhere like Brazil or something.
If they are in your yard and you have small children, I think it's legitimate to move it a bit.

Oh noooo! It's sad when things like that happens. When I see similar situation, I try to remember that it's how nature works and I wipe my tears.
Or curious pets. Or if they're on an 80-90 KM/hr highway with heavy vehicles. I've seen my share of people moving them off rural highways-- It's better for the turtles and better for drivers. (IMO)
They also have an ongoing rabbit Apocalypse. The rabbits managed to survive at least two round of biological warfare, and everything else that has been thrown at them. Australia is weird.
Here Josephine, a story that you will no like reading, but it's an interesting one nevertheless, where in some countries in latin America and I'm sure Asia and others are using turtle eggs as aphrodisiac for erectile dysfunction. Don't be getting any ideas fellas.We see a lot of snapping turtles out these days. While they are generally very passive in the water, they become a little aggressive outside. They only come out of the water for mating. They might end up in places they shouldn't go and this is when human can interfere and help.
I found this video on Facebook on how to manipulate them. Those creatures are so precious, but they can easily snap on your dogs or your kids.

I love this so much!There are lots of turtles living and nesting in and around High Park.
There are signs up and I see volunteers walking around looking for nests
Turtle Protectors / Mishiikenh Gizhaasowin
We advocate, support and protect our Turtle relatives living within some city parks in Tkaronto while embracing all of our kin!
One morning a few weeks ago I took a picture of a turtle laying eggs and called the number
The volunteers had seen the nest but they did not know what kind of turtle had laid them. I sent the picture and they sorted it all out
They put protection around the nests to keep fox, racoons, coyotes, etc., from eating the eggs or babies when they are born
We need more Graham in this world!
