Why does everyone use to the term "RESCUE" so freely? Did you "RESCUE" this animal from a burning building? I'm confused? Is there a Animal Shelter that euthunasizes tortoises or turtles? Would "Adopting" be a more suitable word? I have ran into countless pet owners taking a stroll at the park with their pooches; and the first phrase that comes out of their mouth is: It's a RESCUE!. hahahaha...I find it amusing. Please enlighten me.. I need to know.
