Well, it may surprise you to learn that turtles are not native all over the world. And that in many parts the world they cannot survive if placed in the wild. In fact it is illegal to dump them in waterways in the UK. It is also very cruel indeed. I didn't see you saying anything similar when someone posted a thread about rescuing guinea pigs from a field in Surrey. Same situation, same cruelty, same need for someone to step in and set up a rescue.

Maybe you should consider things a little more before you imply someone is committing illegal and cruel acts. They might find it somewhat offensive.

Sounds like a wonderful houseful! Do you get fresh chicken eggs?

we have chooks too! Only 16 though ;) - a mixture of hybrids and pure breeds. I am envious of your set up! I was considering quail as well but at present have settled with the chooks, bunnies, piggies and cat! I am desperate for a dog but my lifestyle doesn't allow for it

You are ignoring me because I was offended by your suggestion that I was commiting illegal and cruel acts? Simply because you couldn't be bothered to look at my location? I spent years breaking my back to protect those animals, and I am supposed to not be offended by that suggestion. Grow up and apologise or go away. Either way, you are not worth my time.

hi David, well done on the turtle rescues. i too run a turtle rescue (over in belgium though not uk) its amazing how badly people are misinformed about turtle care. they seem to think its ok to buy a little baby turt and keep it in a plastic tub without light, heat, and very very little water. they also think turtles 'like' living together. they obviously have not seen the damage a larger turt can do to a smaller one :(
they also dont seem to realise how big they can grow!
suppose its the same with every pet though, misinformed until you find out whats right :)

what kind of turtles? my sister has a friend who ilegaly kept a rare spanish turtle with really cool patterns on its back. and she dropped it and just laughed. so my sister saved by calling the nspca. such a sad story especially because the girl kept it in her pocket on the plane back. (i know ABSOLUTELY shocking)
