Seems kind of sad, I think they should have just let him be

It does seem sad that he's not just left in peace, but then again, just think of the people he might touch that would never care about tortoises and maybe this will enlighten them. We can hope anyway. Thanks for the share.

Wow! They really did a nice job on the taxidermy. Looks very realistic.

I know, they did a great job! It said they spent 2 years trying to make him as realistic as possible

I never know how to feel about this, I agree with just letting him be, but then there is the aspect of him hopefully inspiring thousands of people into changing, poor soul

Didn't like the the photo of him frozen though

I so agree with you on this. What a lack of respect for this special guy.

He looks so sad I just don't enjoy the thought of him being like that forever! I do agree with macky9326 though, I really hope some people will learn now

I think it's great. It gives people a chance to appreciate their impact on other species
