The only thing I can recommend is maybe going to a meat market and see if they have any tortoises for sale.

people sell (to eat) red eared sliders in "China Town", and soft shelled turtles. you can get the hatchlings for $5 each. i never buy them. i might steal them, but never buy them.

yeah unfortunately they do eat tortoises and turtles here. One of my eastern box turtles was "rescued" from a party i went to (oh and have never been invited back to either...LOL) where they were about to BBQ her. It is the only time and hopefully the last!!!!

It's all based on where and how you were raised and then mix in a pinch of your own personal beliefs. Then there are also the times for many where it comes down to eating what you can find or not eating at all.
