Its a real shame what the people of Madagascar are doing to the radiated tortoise population. I would love to have a pair to breed and build there population. They are a lot better off with the tortoise lover than to be eaten like chicken. The stupid people of Madagascar could breed this guys and sell to the pet trade and make money that way other than catching out of the wild and selling for food. Now if anyone wants one for a pet, they have to get a permit. Kinda makes me mad.
