Taxpayers will be forking over $50 million to have the Marines remove nearly 1,200 tortoises

Is this really the purpose of government or marines? It just seems like a volunteer group could easily achieve the same thing.

Well considering the Marines are the one taking over the turtle's native habitat, accountability starts with them to make it as low impact as possible.

They are being relocated due to an expansion of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center.

I have a feeling there is more to this story.
