I found 2 start tortoises for $122.52 online (an hour away from me). Think they mat be WC? These are laws regarding importation of tortoises:
"
The decree includes a second list of domesticated animals that can be imported for commercial purposes if the ministry's conditions are met.
This includes pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs, as well as grouse, partridge, pheasant and other game birds.
Kangaroos, gazelles, camels, llamas, several types of deer, ostriches, parrots, tortoises, iguana and small pythons may also be imported by commercial establishments.
Each shipment must be accompanied by a veterinary health certificate, a certificate of origin and a certificate issued under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites).
"- The National Newspaper.
the cheap price of the tortoise makes me wonder if it's WC, but I know no one here will pay $500 for a tortoise...

Sweden reminds me of Alaska in terms of scenery. Another place I want to visit! (Sweden that is)

Yes the hole Scandinavia region looks like Alaska or other northern countries. But Sweden is really interesting and much better than the warm Mediterranean countries like Italy Spain etc they're easily to warm :-D

Hey guys, hope everyone's weekend is going well, I just ran a road race this morning, so I'm a bit exhausted right now.
I know we have vegetarians on the chat here, I was wondering if you could give tips on how you balence out the protein without meats. My dad has a farm, so it's always a constant reminder of where meat comes from and the idea has been making me feel more and more sick as I keep growing up. So I want to give the best attempt I can at giving up meat, to me fish and seafoods are ok as is anything wild hunted but farmed/manufactured meat kinda creeps me out.

Good for you Sarah! I missed the run for breast cancer support this year and I hate myself for that. But anyways, protein.... peas. Tofu... Corn... Chickpeas/ Garbanzo beans. Broccoli! There's a whole mess. Any sort of nut is good too. Protein shake is freakin' gross but I drink a glass on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

This race supported cancer research funds but it was just a small local race. I've been running since April when I always hated it before so I sign up for as many local road races we have around, as well as some further away mud runs for some fun (or insanity since the obstacles will be the death of me) good thing I love corn and peas, honestly didn't know they had protein. I'm going to start looking into tofu since I've never even thought of it before but see it as important. Oooh and broccoli. ..our gardens broccoli flowered right away after planting it so we get none and its sad. I have a protein shake, it's soy based so people can have problems but it never hurt me, and it tastes like cake batter :)
