North Carolina animal rescue group asking for discarded bras to help injured turtles
By Aris Folley - 06/29/19 07:18 PM EDT An animal rescue group in North Carolina asked for discarded bras to repair broken turtle shells.
The Associated Press reported the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue is asking women to remove the clasps from their bras, old or new, and mail them in to the address provided here.
“If you're discarding a bra you can cut the clasps off and send them to us we use them for turtle shell repair,†the group wrote in a post on Thursday that has since racked up more than 8,500 shares.
The wildlife sanctuary is also pointing animal advocates to their Amazon Smile charity page for items to purchase for the turtles as well as their main donations page on their home site for cash donations, which they use to purchase medicine for the animals.
