This is horrible. I'm hoping something can be done to save these turtles before it's to late. Maybe you can get a phone# from your friend who told you this and try to talk to the other friend and explain what they are doing is wrong?

Without letting it be known how mad you are and how disgusting this is, try to get the address from your friend of this person. Then call the authorities on this piece of crap. I would love to do the same to them that they are doing to these poor animals. If they can do this to these animals, they can do it to others and then usually they are also human abusers. This piece of crap needs to be turned in.

Of course, if she would happen in here and read this, I don't think your going to be saving those turtles. :(

Please people keep a open mind . I cannt believe somebody would wake up one morning and say I spent a lot of money and love and time on my torts lets starve them to death . They may of got bad news ( this don't make it right by any means ) and that's the way she is looking for help . I'm not saying I'm right . But it real hard to think someone could be that mean to something I love that much . But to help the torts we may half to be alittle bit understanding . I'm sorry for those people that hate what I say . But there is always 2 sides of a coin .

I'm with Grandpa on this. While I will admit there is no limit to human depravity at times, this doesn't make sense. If she doesn't want them, slow starvation makes no sense. Why not just turn them loose, or drop them off at a pet store or animal shelter? Why not just euthanize them? Why would you take the time to make them starve to death? Something that will take months of time and effort.

Something doesn't add up. No sane person would do this. If you have an animal and decide you don't want it anymore, you want to be rid of it. Even if you are a completely thoughtless, abusive, uncaring jerk, you don't want to drag it out for weeks or months. You want the "problem" solved.

There must be more to this story.
