Animal Rescue Group Wants Your Old Bras To Help Save Injured Turtles

INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. (CBS Local) — An animal rescue group in North Carolina area wants your old bras. It may sound funny, but this is no joke.

“It acts like a little fixator, it’s the eyelets that we need,” Keenan Freitas at the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue told CBS affiliate WBTV.
