I SAID GO TO THE OP LINK AND READ THE Whole story. THEY CONFESS. 'Nuff proof for you?
You can eat your own words, which I regard as equivalent.
While I don't support what the Flight Attendant did, you are creating a conspiracy where I don't believe one exists. There is no evidence in the article that the ramp employee said to the FA: "Tell the little girl she has to throw out her turtle, so that I can get it out of the trash and pass it to a third employee to take it home for their child."
What I presume happened is somthing more like this: ramp employee finds turtle in trash - thinks "How could someone do something like that to a poor, innocent turtle" or even "my employer is cruel and heartless to force such a thing to happen" and rescues poor little turtle. Now, having rescued the turtle, that employee must now figure out what to do with the turtle, when another employee says, "my daughter would love to care for the turtle."
It is bad enough that the FA (on the airline's behalf) made a stupid decision. Let's not try to over-inflate the situation to one of silliness.
