Save the turtles 

If you see this quote in someone's bio, it's probably a reference to a tweet from @ains_rose that said : " you know who doesn't want to be choked? Turtles. You know who does? Me. Save the turtles, choke me instead." So it quite literally means choke me.
"She had save the turtles in her bio, but she doesn't seem like a vsco girl! What do you think?"

"hahahaha, you're so naive, it means choke me, that's it."
