fullscreenaging Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Can’t afford the energy bill to keep them warm enough in the country is my guess  They should have reached out to someone, unless it’s illegal to have these animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Davey Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Sad to see, and there's too much of this kind of thing going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Sisko Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I read that the police were investigating the possibility that the Tortoises were being illegal smuggled into the UK, they'd died enroute and just dumped.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideWithStyles Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Yea sounds more like illegal activity. If thats the case, doubt they'll catch the mofos for which they should get  "their whole life" in prison with personal play time with the wakos that Gero has to deal with and cuddle time every night with big baz the botty pulveriser .  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mealexme Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I heard about this the other day, it's fairly local to me too. Sad really, that people put animals through pain and suffering just for a little profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
