Have any of you seen this article? It's a couple years old, but recently came up again on the tortoise forum. It turns my stomach that people can be so callous about these animals:

10,000 Poached Radiated Tortoises Found in a House in Madagascar

Terrible sight and hope that some of the poor creatures survived and found good homes.

Absolutely horrifying to see again. We all know this goes on but it doesn’t fail to shock and disgust me.
