Question

Why did few people kept combing the beach in the early hours of the morning?

here is the paragraph for help
Turtles nest along the entire coastline of our State. There are a few people in every village who keep combing the beach in the early hours of the morning, throughout the year. When the female turtle comes on the shore to nest and to lay eggs, she leaves behind a trial just like a track of wheels on the sand. The egg hunters follow this trial right up to the nest which is about half a metre deep. They dig up the nest, and steal all the 100 – 150 eggs that are laid inside. These eggs are then either eaten or are sold in the market. If a turtle is spotted while it is still laying eggs, it is allowed to live till the laying is over. As soon as the eggs are laid, it is caught, and then killed and eaten, This ruthless practice is observed in all parts of the world. However, in India, sea turtles have been given protection by including them under Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972. That means Turtles are given much protection as tigers.
