I just feel that turtles are special and have a special purpose here on earth and need to be protected. I think your Cecil is very handsome., May he live 50 plus years and have a good life.
You're not alone in saving turtles! I did the same thing one day on my way into work. Saw a turtle in the middle of the road, pulled over, ran over to it, and it scooted across the road, right into the curbstone! Saved its little butt! so cute.
