we were walking by the main park with the fountains and "lake" this morning and saw 2 turtles on the edge of the water.
I know they aren't wild turtles, are people really dumping unwanted pets in this water? that's awful. those turtles will end up just dying, very sad.

Turtles actually fall into ponds and pools all by themselves. Happened to me a number of times at the old house.

If it happens at the Phoenix Zoo, I don't see why this anomaly wouldn't happen here too.

why would there be turtles just walking around? I'm not talking desert tortoses that could be native to the area, I'm talking the little "keep in an aquarium" kind.

Actually, a lot of marine wildlife find their way into new ecosystems via their eggs getting attached to waterfowl.

The real question is are the turtles trespassing much like the children playing soccer or RED families enjoying the splash pad? I can only assume that there is no way for these turtles to earn income and therefore pay any HOA dues. So, they should not be allowed in the pond. I suggest we have them killed. Kim?

At least you got your question answered; "are people really dumping unwanted pets in this water? that's awful".
Probably NO!

They may be in this country illegally! Call ICE and have them checked out. (Emoticons won't work)

Turtles always park at the shell station.
