Hello all.
I am deeply saddened by recent events in my family. With a financial problem, and now unsupportive parents, I must sell Steve and George, my two 2 year old sulcata tortoises.
I wanted the best for them. Their breeder raised them dry; they are small and pyramided, and I was determined to give them a better life. Now, none of that is possible. My father is looking for a job, and my parents who are too soft and helpful have allowed two members of my extended family live with us. Neither of them have jobs, so my parents must fully support another two individuals, along with my 3 brothers and myself. Money is tight, and my dreams are shattered. I must sell Steve and George in order to help support my unwanted and most hated guests.
I asked my parents about the money I had to be able to build the closed chambers for Steve and Geore, along with other things they would need. They yelled at me and called my outrageous demands unnecessary and a waste of money in this time. I am crying right now. I am forced to sell Steve and George to help two members of my family who I will hate for the rest of my life. I can no longer support or give aid to my Steve and George, tortoises who I wanted to give the best life possible. Now I must give them up. I will never forget them.
