SOUTH CAROLINA --  26 turtles were released from a trap and returned to their pond, according to an anonymous communique received by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office (NAALPO) on April 9.  The communique contains the following description:  "Yellowbelly, painted, mud and musk turtles were all released from a turtle trap and trap destroyed."  The group also sent the NAALPO this picture:

The group did not identify itself with the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), a leaderless underground organization, but the release of the turtles is nonetheless an ALF-style action.

The NAALPO also reported other news related to animal issues:
