Happy birthday!You're obviously entitled to your opinion, but there's absolutely nothing cruel about it. Have you read up on this or just basing your opinion on a photograph? And since this is your opinion, do insects not rate?

I am trying to share some videos of my tortoise tribe. But I’m such a Luddite.
I feel a bit the same. Mourning for the little lives lost.I love the artwork but I still have a knot in my stomach
Thank you!Happy Birthday to you Chasen.
I don't know how to feel about the art. It seems rather creepy. I will check out this guy.
Thank youHappy birthday!
I take this to mean no endangered species are collected:I did just that! It certainly doesn't seem like someone associated with this would harm an animal.
I also googled the artist. This is what was said about him and his book.

Chasen, thanks for posting this. I had never heard the term before.
Good. Thanks!I've seen ads where artists are asking for people to send their dead animals. I'm sure that's what this artist means by environmentally responsible.
Sadly you're right. Sulcatas, in my opinion, are overbred and I always see 10x more of them at reptile shows than any other species of tortoise (at least here in Arizona). Too many inexperienced people buy the hatchlings, cannot care properly for them, and they die. And there's always hundreds more out there for sale.Is it just me or are there a LOT of baby sulcatas?
As long as they were already dead, this is super cool! Love the soft shell turtle.

Read the section on reclamation https://christophermarley.com/conservation/Seeing the trouble many of us go to to keep these little creatures alive, it’s disconcerting to see them pinned to a board.Did they die a natural death or were they euthanized? Maybe where you live the place is overpopulated with tortoises. Where I am just one little life saved is a triumph.
