Why do many people on this site and others say that they've "adopted" a tortoise that they've walked into a pet shop (or other source) and purchased? Does it make them feel better than saying they "bought" it? Why?
You don't "adopt" your groceries from the grocery store or "adopt" you clothes from a clothing store, you "buy" them don't you?
