Just breaks my heart.

So SAD!

Oh no...I wish someone could help him. He needs it badly! If anyone can rescue him, I'd help with some money...not much but maybe a bunch of us could pitch in??

So SAD!

He should be ashamed of himself!! This is disgusting...idk what's worse the fact that he just realized he had no time for him or the price he's asking...this is a rescue he should pay someone to take him! I'm so sad...

Re: So SAD!

RE: So SAD!

OMG, that poor thing. I sent them an email. Letting them know the price they are asking is way off base for a tortoise in that condition.

So SAD!

Any update? I can put in some money..

RE: So SAD!

I wish i had more space. That tortoise really deserves a better life. I live right by where it is also.

So SAD!

Oh my goodness that made me feel ill. That poor creature. Has anyone got the ability to help him???
Other than obvious bad husbandry practice, and not to sound to naive, why is that poor animal shaped like his shell is caving in?

RE: So SAD!

Re: So SAD!

I'll throw in sum if there is anyone that can save him...

Re: So SAD!

I wonder how much it would cost to get him shipped here.

How far is the drive from AZ?

Wondering the same thing?!
Why doesn't someone just tell them that they won't be prosecuted for neglect if they just surrender the poor guy to an appropriate rescuer or caretaker?!

Re: Looking to adopt

Oh my.. That doesn't even look like pyramiding! What kind of damage causes that!? Thats just... woah. I might look into this guy just to help him...

 

[Sulcata_Sandy]

Looking to adopt

Oh PLEASE please help him. He needs love and correct care ASAP or he will die.
Cowboy_Ken on this forum has one like him, and he can happily help you understand what is going on much better than I.

I will donate a bit of money to you to help get him. Please, call them and politely offer the a little bit less, and go get him. We could probably network people to pick him up and transport if you are not close. Please!!!!! [PURPLE HEART][PURPLE HEART]

Looking to adopt

I'm also willing to help with cost/transporting
