Evolution happens via mutations ... mistakes are a part of nature, and as long as this wee-beast isn't suffering, I think:
As regards suggestions an email blitz or spamming the breeder, because he appears not to do things as people in this forum think are best, please consider:
- it's got a right to live
- there's something to be learned from studying and recording its life
- it might grow to contribute to a new line/sub-species/species of tortoise
Just my thoughts and opinions, your mileage may vary.
- until very recently, everyone thought differently about raising tortoises, many still do, many of whom have been raising torts for decades
- I'm stubborn enough to dig in and act the opposite when faced with an angry mob bugging me while I'm sharing something cool
- internet mobs tend to be as smart as their least intelligent member

I agree. And when I wrote to spam him I was kinda outraged by the fact that he knew he was doing wrong but he still did it.
Still, the little one, avatar, will most likely die. I really think that he just looks.. wrong. something about the way he walks kind of gives me "unnatural" vibes. I also believe that if it isn't suffering that it should not be euthinized. I dont really know though, it might have a chance in correct care. But something tells me if he continues to care for it in that manner, it will die. no questions asked.
