"Wake up in morning, work till you can't, get up next morning when you can an start over" If more people lived this way the world would be better off. Bruce might complain like most of us but he gets the job done.
you wanna be experts, Bruce has been doing it for YEARS. healthy turtles keep him in business and keep the orders coming in. he knows exactly what he is doing. who are you to sit here and question the way he handles them? do you have YEARS of experience to back up your opinion? no? then shut up.
@Yeahhhh444 If you have ever watched a nurse with a newborn baby in a hospital you would think the baby was being tossed around like a rag doll. But she knows what she is doing and so does Bruce.
I'm pretty sure the just hatched... and I don't think the go after food for a few days, but I suppose that could be a little more gentle handling them at least on cam .. and you didn't see him handling the softshells like that I think he knows what he's doing and what the turtles can handle
Million turtles every year?!?! I really wanna start up a turtle now. Like not even to sell just to feed and have a pond with hundred of thousands of turtles in it. Tell that wouldn’t be dope af.
He's a turtle farmer, he raises turtles, doesn't mean he loves them. Look at any farmer and how they treat their animals, they don't do it because the love cows and sheep. But at least he raises them so people don't go out and collect them from the wild, hopefully that will put some pressure off the native population.
Why is it cruel? Have you seen the way they slaughter beef, chicken, etc.? Take trip to the slaughter house or raise a few head of beef and then let's have a chat about cruel... Unless you know a friendly way of butchering dinner? And no, I am not talking about a drive thru my friend. Meat is processed, it takes folks to do that. For all you know that turtle order could have been for a pet store and each of them have an awesome lake to live in for the next 100 years. Just saying..
@Guiitardustin It's because it's part of the history of the Cajuns of south Louisiana. My people. I don't hunt gators, but I do hunt and I'm a Cajun. Each episode opens with a statement that the show documents a part of our culture that dates back 300 years. Through the show in several episodes, lots of historical references are made to old methods of gator hunting from the past, as well as other things about south Louisiana's history. As for Animal Planet, I don't think they'd touch this one.
@TheFazedMedia u say they dont slaughter cows how do you think they do it, the butcher walks up to it with a pneumatic cylinder the width of a quarter and sends the actuator 2-3 inches into its head essentially " slaughtering it"
I ran over a giant alligator snapping turtle in a mudhole by accident...he ran his head out of the muddy water and bit at my tire...i about passed out.....we stopped and went back and he was fine...pissed but fine...i was driving a 550 lb. 4wheeler.....whoooo hooooooo!!!!!
@hempville namaste :) i'm a 22 year old vegetarian living at home while i major in wildlife ecology and i too am disturbed by this so yeah dont let these crazy mean people get u down hun! we just gotta stand by what we believe in... peace
He was not treated those babies turtles right, they do feel pain. Their shells are not that hard when they are that small, and they can also suffocate very easily being thrown and packed on top of each other like that. I really enjoy this show, but that just made me like him a whole lot less. Whether you think or them as food and/or money, they still deserve to be treated with care.
baby turtle shells aint hard they are soft and he is squishing crates of turtles on other turtles bruce is badass but dont like the way he handles his turtles at all
For the respect of the animal trade, i understand the meaning of this. It is protein, we do produce millions of chickens for human consumption, so y not reptiles, they reproduce the same as birds, they lay eggs. It’s all the same in the business side of it. I know vegans and Geiger similar will complain. I care about life in general.. any life. But money is wat matters in this world . But a real human being doesn’t care about money, just about who they give birth to.... who makes there last name better/stronger..... I hope someone comments on my comment because I would like to talk about just shut that’s going on.... I don’t have nobody in life so yea . I don’t understand the meaning of living so yea .
HA!! you ever even been to the south?! they'll eat things down there you dont even want to think of.. french and russians too.. hell a delicacy in iceland is sheep eye balls.. and ranchers in the us are known to sometimes eat sheep/goat testicles.. they call it rancher's eggs.
J.A., Goats testi's are called "Mountain Oysters" and fish eye soup is a favorite of people from Thailand and Cambodia. Different strokes for different folks.
what the hell do they eat once they're in those boxes?? the other turtles that have died from getting thrown about or getting stuck upside down unable to move?
Bruce and Troy have always been my favorites
This show try's to portray these people as poor ehhhhh wrong these bayou folks are loadedddddddddd
Silvio Manuel lol jews
@Azzury Street this is the most confusing comment i've ever seen on youtube.
@@ieattofu2001 I'll translate "these gentlemen do not participate in Judaism my friend" makes sense now foo?
@@babywueso o i c
They are poor lol
Man hes throwin those turtles like theyre packing peanuts or something
That's what i said, there's no way those turtles gone live
@@randymedious7931 I know right, its not like those turtles had some protective shell or anything.
@@missionpupa I’m freaking screaming 😂😂😭😂😂😭😂😭😂😭😭
@@missionpupa maybe its more of the stress of being thrown around like that. not how they would be in the wild.
They’re fine ever hear of a shell living in the water and land geeze
man this guy never stops workin, most of those other guys just do gators this guy does everything!
Yeah for sure, hes definitely more business savvy than them too
"Wake up in morning, work till you can't, get up next morning when you can an start over" If more people lived this way the world would be better off. Bruce might complain like most of us but he gets the job done.
Crystal H work for more work?
Your right. Too lazy

sfy2004 yes, I have years of experience. Look up CAFO’s
That flip phone lol

Turtle tossin at its finest 😂 so many turtles🐢!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha i love how those turtles are in boxes.
I'm pretty sure the just hatched... and I don't think the go after food for a few days, but I suppose that could be a little more gentle handling them at least on cam .. and you didn't see him handling the softshells like that I think he knows what he's doing and what the turtles can handle
Turtles are pretty tough.
Million turtles every year?!?! I really wanna start up a turtle now. Like not even to sell just to feed and have a pond with hundred of thousands of turtles in it. Tell that wouldn’t be dope af.
D: this video saddens me those little turtles are so cute
wow he just tosses em around and shit like that
i like turtles
I'm 70 years old and have eaten turtles all my life and have NEVER eaten turtles 🐢 that small.
That's cool how you go through the process.
never seen this guy with a shirt on...…………..
I’d love me some turtle soup right now .
He's a turtle farmer, he raises turtles, doesn't mean he loves them. Look at any farmer and how they treat their animals, they don't do it because the love cows and sheep.

So that’s where turtles come from
Willys a beast
@MrDudeer nah it's kind of like farming, he farms Turtles and Crocodiles which are both edible, same as any other farmer
The way he handled them turtles was awful
How should he handle them then?
Carry them one by one?
They’re turtles. You know turtles have a shell right?
Were can i buy some
that's a lot of turtles!!! way to go man - ingenious business!!! (did you go to college and major in turtles? ;)
@TheFazedMedia thank you for agreeing with me
i luv sum turtle soup, um um good!!!!

This is rather brilliant, I agree. Personally, my preferred primary use for turtles is turtle soup.
I feel bad for the turtles that's no way to keep it.. Like pile of junks...💔
you feel bad for the cute turtles but not for the beef pork chicken fish you eat
They just ain't as cute as the turtles
We use to eat long neck turtles they are delicious. I like gelatine cooking with ginger & mushroom it's yum little bit of rice wine. Yummy.
This Not Halal Turtle This Swamp Turtles Let That Man Cook The Way He Cook 🎯
Do they even feed the turtles
No, they let the turtles starve and they sell the dead one's.
Doge Master naw they just live off air
Baby turtles don’t need to feed until they’re 1 years old. They survive off of photosynthesis.
@@PokeYourEyez that is 10000 IQ RIGHT THERE...!
You can't fix stupid!
Where exactly do they live?
Pontcatula Hammond Louisiana
this is real work
I like your TV show and meet you and get some of your channels and time
I don't know but it's awesome.

I like Turtles.
Kinda sucks how the turtles are kept. Imagine if we humans were used the exact same.
We were, some of our ancestors. He'll some today in black market
"its jus can to caint"
Looks like business is booming
@TheFazedMedia u say they dont slaughter cows how do you think they do it, the butcher walks up to it with a pneumatic cylinder the width of a quarter and sends the actuator 2-3 inches into its head essentially " slaughtering it"
@XLinzeStyleX Here's a newsflash: Slaves were HUMAN BEINGS. I can't BELIEVE you made that comparison.
I ran over a giant alligator snapping turtle in a mudhole by accident...he ran his head out of the muddy water and bit at my tire...i about passed out.....we stopped and went back and he was fine...pissed but fine...i was driving a 550 lb. 4wheeler.....whoooo hooooooo!!!!!
That guy better hope some of those Turtles are not on the critical endangered species list
@f0rumrr Yeah people have bones... they still can break..
I’d be afraid I’d get into the 3000s and lose track and have to start all over
poor lil turtles :'( how do they even survive in boxes like that? just awful... i'm sure PETA's havin a fit right about now..
@linkavitchC this is how petco gets their animals so don't be too shocked.
mmmmmmmmmmmm turtle soup....5 stars great video
Bruce is an American Hero
Hey! Why are you so rough with those baby turtles. Be nice, it don’t make it go any faster!
@WeSACRAMENTO scarred is 2 r's right?
Let em swim in taters and onions
Poor turtles
Bruce needs to put on a shirt and some underwear lol
@CoonHunter883 looooooool its a cat that is just a lot closer to the camera than bruce is, also the camera is on the floor
@CanadianCatastrophes Indeed, I bet he handles money a lot more carefully than turtles.
They're turtles people, not people. If those turtles had hatched in the wild most of them would have died in any case.
@gumdokim No one eats those turtles, they are typically sold overseas for pets or in the US (with proper permits) to stock other turtle ponds.
Can we say animal abuse????
How is this animal abuse?
Can you shut up, why is everyone so pussified nowadays y’all need to realize that’s how people make a livin and that’s how some people get fed
😂😂😂🤦
Everyone is interested in the turtles but I'm here trying to figure out Bruce Mitchell lol
Jess Lovely you and me both this man is definitely interesting lol
Looks like animal abuse to me.
If they were dogs ya be crying
Ya but people have hierarchies for animals. Dogs being literally up there with cats. Turtles being way way way below.
how the hell do they stay alive in those things? and won't they die from being dumped like that in that bin? fuuuuuck haha
@elanjoeski yeah but dont you want to make it so you dont have to be lucky not to be a turtle?
Slangin 🐢
lol he didnt watch it. He looked over the turtles
uuuuuhhhhhhh no not really they dont eat they are smothered ontop of one another they arent fine but keep thinking that way
Some people get away with anything
@hempville namaste :) i'm a 22 year old vegetarian living at home while i major in wildlife ecology and i too am disturbed by this so yeah dont let these crazy mean people get u down hun! we just gotta stand by what we believe in... peace
you never know whats gonna be next
@TheFazedMedia hilarious hah
They ain't marbles foo

@TheFazedMedia allright, come on than.
Man y'all cry so much bout how we kill animals.. They kill eachotha in worse ways then we do.. Eaither way ITS GON DIE.. STOP CRYIN 😂😂

Thank you
Richiie Williams
Well they would get the same sunlight either way
@lizeekupcake i was gonna say the same thing :/ he just kinda cramps them all up in a bin
those aint no baby's
They wouldn't be much of a meal, do they have to grow up first?
SALT AND PEPPER BABY SALT AND PEPPER
@techmaster85 you probably havent even seen the actual show..
baby turtle shells aint hard they are soft and he is squishing crates of turtles on other turtles bruce is badass but dont like the way he handles his turtles at all

How The Fuck Did I Know The Top Comment Was Gunna Be "I Like Turtles"??
I’m assuming they don’t need to be alive?
I feel like he's giving those turtles quite a bit of brain damage.
@hempville
I like trains.
Those r small to eat imo
@brianbrianbrian2640 i beleive it goes, "I like toitles"
id be suprised if they are alive by the time they get deliverd
That's how human have lost respect for life but expect to go to heaven. The irony
HA!! you ever even been to the south?! they'll eat things down there you dont even want to think of.. french and russians too.. hell a delicacy in iceland is sheep eye balls.. and ranchers in the us are known to sometimes eat sheep/goat testicles.. they call it rancher's eggs.

@LosAngelesWeedSmoker turtle is super fuckin tasty. It aint animal abuse if it moves slower than one mile per hour
Won’t be good product if you keep bruising them.
what the hell do they eat once they're in those boxes?? the other turtles that have died from getting thrown about or getting stuck upside down unable to move?
@FloristheKing different turtles... lol ;)
