yes don't get me wrong it would be heaven to breed lovely tortoises, what a joy and responsibility. I'd love it and think the breeders do a fantastic job. my dream would be a UK Tortoise village like in France ...and a beautiful breeding programme to give something back, but I don't see this with Tortoise King here - perhaps I am wrong but where is the educational programme...giving back...rescue / sanctuary.
If it was 5000 puppies in the back yard being bred even with adequate care, great set up would we feel the same? I think I would - it just doesn't sit easy.
And Gordon - wouldn't the world be the worse if we didn't have those debates (even in gang dam style - I remember one). Never hold back , everyone has a right to opinion its how others receive it and debate it back and we all know who the gurus are on here....CB
