Well done Pete for putting these images up again, I know after our long chat the other night and the amount of questions being asked about some internet sites selling tortoises it was definately time to repost, just to remind us all and future newcommers why we are so against these pet shops / dealerships on the intenet importing these lovely animals we have a passion for so unneccessarily.

Ignorance is bliss, and if having this information in the public domain stops one person from going and buying a tortoise this route and buys through a reputable breeder instead to get a UK CB tortoise then it's worth us suffering the images, which is nothing compared to the suffering these poor tortoises have had to endure to come to their very premature and untimely ending!

If more follow suit thats even better still.
