Right! i am going to have a rant, so if you are in a good mood please move on to another thread!!
At work today minding my own business worming a tort ready for winter,
A couple came over and asked if i could worm their tort, I asked what tort it was and how old,
The reply left me gobsmacked to say the least.
Quote, from Morrocan woman" its a greek, dont know how old"
Me " you realise that it is a protected species and if you get caught with it you can face a heavy fine!"
Woman" why its from my country"
Me yes but its still illegal"
Woman " but why i bring from my country"
Me " but just because you are Morrocan it does not give you the right to ownership"
Husband " I wonder what would happen if i got caught with 40/50 torts"
Me " exscuse me, where do you get them from?"
Hubby "i just pick them up and shove them in with the spair tyre every time we come to spain"
Me (mouth open " what sizes do you bring in?"
Hubby " oh all sizes, they are gonna die if i leave them"
Me ( face red and at boiling point " do you have any idea what you are doing, Out of those that you take away from a huge amount of wandering space and shove on tiles only 1% has a possibility of surviving!
Hubby " they will die anyway"
I am currently trying to get their address to report them, i am dead set against animals being taken from the wild.
