Meet Cozzi, a fresh water turtle that was hooked by active fisherman – not discarded tackle as some may think!
Luck for Cozzi the hook was able to be removed with a major surgery.
As unlucky as that is – Cozzi was very luckily to be “accidentally” caught by fisherman who actually cared enough to do the right thing and not just cut the line!
Cozzi was taken to the Wildlife Welfare Organisation for assistance who delivered him to AMWRRO for treatment.
Cozzi had the hook removed from his esophagus and has now almost finished his medication. Once finished he will be released back in the River Murray where he was found. Special thanks to those who handed him in to WWO and for WWO for delivering him to AMWRRO for treatment.
