According to Frank Indiviglio of That Reptile Blog, lifting a turtle by it's tail "will cause severe injuries to the spine and internal organs." blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatreptileblog/2008/06/24/handling-snapping-turtles-chelydra-serpentina-and-other-large-turtles
According to matts-turtles.org/hold.html moving the turtle too quickly or roughly can cause the intestine to pinch which is not only painful, can can be deadly.
