Meet Funzo, the local turtle who was cyberbullied on his birthday
The National Aquarium in Baltimore couldn't let the birthday of Funzo, the pig-nosed turtle, pass by without remembering to make a social media shout-out. What they perhaps did not remember was that people on the internet are awful, and that there were an unfortunate number of comments making fun of/expressing disgust at Funzo's appearance. Fortunately, the lovable turtle had defenders as well who rallied to say that no, the turtle wasn't ugly, the haters were. I like to think that, if nothing else, the post spread some awareness about Funzo and his species and got at least some people thinking of just how remarkable turtles are. #JusticeforFunzo!
