Warehouse Turtle Emergency
Recently,
numerous turtles were discovered in horrific conditions at a pet supply
warehouse. More than 35 of these turtles, like the Red Ear Slider pictured
above, have been rescued and are undergoing treatment. Several species of
turtles are involved from Ambonian Box Turtles, Razorbacks, RES, African
Helmeted, Caspian Ponds, Central American Ornate Wood, Greek Tortoises...the
list goes on. Unfortunately, there are more to come. People are donating their
time, supplies and treating these rescues as best they can, but money is falling
short. In addition to vet visits, supplies and medications, housing supplies and
other care materials are needed. Once these poor guys and gals are back in good
health, they are going to need homes.
To
find out more on how you can help this rescue effort, either in the form of
money, supplies or adoptions, please visit the
Warehouse Turtle Crisis Website sponsored by the
NCTRR, RES OaSis, ATP, Turtle Forum, Snake Planet and
Xoles Fishies.
