WATCH: Maltese Family Rescues Baby Turtle Trapped In Plastic

Drowning in a sea of plastic is a terrible way to go, and this sea turtle narrowly avoided that horrible future.

Picked up by a Maltese family, this little baby turtle was cut loose from the trails of plastic it had accidentally wound up trapped in.

Shortly after cutting away the dangerous bindings, the family released the turtle back into the sea, where it eagerly sped off to continue living its life, free from the constraints of an ever-going problem across the globe.
