Ok fine, twist my arm, I'll take them!

It's crazy how it went from 17 affected to 140. I guess it depends on who does the report.

"They did a rushed environmental analysis and they are now playing the catch up."

You can't do that with tortoises. It never works.

they must have started emerging from hibernation and the numbers went up..
