the employees at petsmart have no idea. All they do is place an order for a russian tortoise that gets sent to the DC, who then contacts the company that sells them tortoises, who then ships it to the DC, who ships it to the store.

Unfortunately, I think they will always get more. Everyone just can't be stopped:(. That's why puppy mills are still around:(. But if you can fight the urge to buy from pet stores, then fight the urge.

If you buy them from the pet store scenario, and give them proper care, then wouldn't you be saving them?
