Two Long Island teens were arrested after burning and stabbing a 12-pound turtle to death Saturday, Suffolk County police said.
Roark Xanthos and Thomas Gorman, both 18, picked up the snapper from the side of the road in Bellport about 9:30 a.m., police said.
The masochistic pair doused the turtle with gasoline and tossed it in a makeshift fire pit before setting the reptile ablaze, cops said.
The teens then stabbed the charred chelonian through its shell with a long metal pole, killing the creature.
Cops slapped the pair with animal cruelty and criminal trespass charges.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
