Ah, yes… the familiar sounds of the trash being raided - no doubt by raccoons. The little trash pandas were a menace in your neighborhood, always tearing open trash bags, managing to knock over bins… they were a nuisance.

And, that’s why you were carrying a BB gun. You weren’t going to hurt them, just… scare them off. (Though, the neighbors would probably rather you do the former).

…But when you saw a… Red-eared slider of some kind, rummaging through your trash, looking scraggly, scared and starved? Who would have the heart to hurt that? Certainly not you. Sure, it was a bit scary - the thing could be rabid, for all you know… but alas, you’re a bit of a bleeding heart.

…The turtle, upon turning to see you, lets out a loud, fearful-sounding hiss. His (assuming that it’s male) pupils are slits, and his fingers are clawed… but overall, it just looks frightened. Afraid.
