"People see her and learn her story, and they get it," Peanut's handler, Amy Wilkinson from the Missouri Department of Conservation, told The Dodo. "She's a great example of why not to litter."
Help came in 1993, when she was rescued and finally cut free from the saddening predicament that threatened to cut her life short. But despite her long ordeal, from which she will never fully recover, Peanut continues to thrive more than 20 years later in her new role as educator.
"She's doing really well. I would describe her as a feisty turtle," Wilkinson said. "[But] I feel like even when she dies, we'll always have workout her as a way of teaching people about the effect litter can have on wildlife."
