A recent post of a Peking University online forum revealed that six women attempted to release around 500 live Brazilian turtles into a lake on campus of the university but were eventually prevented by several students. The six women identified themselves as lay Buddhists, believing setting free captive animals is the way to express their respect to the nature. The security office of the university said as an invasive alien species, the Brazilian turtles would largely damage the ecosystem of the lake. The vehicle carrying the turtles has been permanently prohibited to enter into the campus. [Photo:weibo.com]
