FWIW, I talked to my tortoise Kirsten and she said she was against this. She said more tortoises need to give in and get adopted so they can live the good life. No more coyotes bothering her, plenty of food and water and a nice big back yard to hang out in and enjoy the sunshine. Oh and a nice big single wide under the rocks to live in. Spoiled tortoise!
