Turtle is a turtle, turtle reptiles, in Chinese folklore, people do not eat turtle meat, because the turtle is one of the four gods, folk banquets guests can not use the turtle meat to entertain guests, otherwise it is a great disrespect to the guests. Therefore, people have the custom of releasing the turtle.

Release, in Buddhism this is a thing of infinite merit, this is not only for their own accumulation of function, but also for their children will be in the accumulation of blessings, release of animals can be any creature in nature, tortoise is just one of them. But releasing turtles is the most common. First of all, it is because tortoises are very long-lived, and in times of plenty, people always want to live longer and see better things, so releasing tortoises signifies longevity, health, and freedom from disease.

All living things are as greedy and fearful of death, people are afraid of killing, fear of death, animals are the same. To buy a turtle and release it is to save its life, so that it is exempt from the possibility of being killed by a knife. Secondly, we buy animals to release, one can save their lives, in addition to releasing them for their conversion ceremony, so that they will be able to achieve the day, do not have to suffer in the six paths. Turtle is a pet is also a good-luck charm, raised at home on behalf of longevity, really want to have the spirit of the turtle you release it will come back,

But the release of ecological problems, such as can not release foreign invasive species, Brazilian tortoises and snapping turtles are not suitable for the release of life. Brazilian turtles and snapping turtles are foreign species, these two species of turtles are extremely tenacious, once into the natural waters, not only will and local species to grab food, but also kill a large number of freshwater organisms, breaking the existing biological chain. That is to say, if you release Brazilian turtles, snapping turtles, on the surface of the release, in fact, is to kill. This kind of release behavior, not only for our ecological environment is serious damage, but also for their own trouble. There should take into account the habits of the turtle species, according to habits, turtles are generally divided into: aquatic, semi-aquatic, terrestrial. If the terrestrial, semi-aquatic turtles released into the water is obviously inappropriate, the same is also killing behavior.

So a more scientific way of release, so that our country's ecological environment is getting better and better, but also to make the earth more and more beautiful, is also a merit Oh.
