I couldn't eat it either. My kids have three turtles. I did tease them and told them to name one of them "Soup" when they got them. ( they didn't)
I have a hard enough time eating meat in general ;-) . I have disassociate myself that it was once a living animal.
The way my kids love those turtles..I could never harm one and eat it....but I don't judge others ..to each their own.
