Mississippi State veterinarians save life of endangered sea turtle named ‘Toast Malone’
SUMMARY: Veterinarians at Mississippi State University successfully performed life-saving procedures on two endangered sea turtles, Toast Malone and Mudpie. Toast Malone, a Kemp’s ridley sea turtle, had a fishhook removed from its stomach by Dr. John Thomason using endoscopy. Mudpie, a loggerhead sea turtle, had two fishhooks removed from its esophagus and mouth by Thomason, CVM faculty, and veterinary students. These efforts are part of the university-based Global Center for Aquatic Health and Food Security’s collaboration with the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies. Both turtles are now recovering at the Mississippi Gulf Coast with hopes of being released back into the wild.

SUMMARY: Carly Madison Gregg, a 15-year-old, is currently on trial in Rankin County for allegedly killing her mother and attempting to murder her stepfather in March. Charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder, she faces up to two life sentences after rejecting a plea deal. The case has garnered national attention due to its shocking nature.
