I was recently at a local flea market where I came across an exotic pet dealer. As a tortoise owner, I naturally checked him out. I did not expect to be pleased or to agree with what I saw but this in man in particular horrified me. The conditions in which he kept his tortoises (there were many…and many different species) were unspeakable: Poor to no lighting/heat, way too small enclosures, too many tortoises in a single enclosure, disgusting water/living conditions, you name it. While I know the likelihood of shutting him down or getting him in any kind of major trouble is slim to none, I was wondering if there was still anyone I can report him to in hopes to at least make some waves for him. I have never reported animal neglect/abuse for tortoises before so I am not sure that it is the same as dogs/cats. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
