It's off topic though. Of course, you can use words however you like. I just don't agree with it.
But does anyone of you - strongly - reject indoor housing? Of course you wouldn't criticize anyone harshly - but do you really think that all tortoises should be housed outdoors (weather permitting) and can't possibly life a happy life on a tortoise table inside?
I agree to disagree regarding the use of language. We all have different standards.
I think tortoises can be provided for to varying levels of satisfaction with an indoor enclosure. Less extensive accommodations may be needed for temporary or seasonal housing. More extensive accommodations may be more appropriate for indoor-only keeping. That also can apply to matters of size or species-specific environmental requirements. It is up to the keeper to be the judge of that. I would not let another dictate care terms, but I would always at the very least consider another person's methodology when forming or modifying my own.
