Why don't turtles eat other turtles?

For one thing, the turtles have a shell for protection from predators. Another thing is that not all animals use a form of cannibalism, the turtle being one of them.

Not completely correct. Although "fellow" turtles are not part of their regular diet, turtles can fight and be aggressive with each other, snapping and biting at heads and limbs. There have been accounts of limbs and eyes being lost. Obviously, they can't eat through the shell. But they are omnivores and meat is meat.
