Stop Farming Endangered Turtles for Meat! Target: The Cayman Turtle Farm Sponsored by: World Society for the Protection of Animals - USA An undercover investigation conducted by WSPA at the Cayman Turtle Farm -- a popular tourist destination and the world's only facility that raises sea turtles for slaughter -- has revealed disturbing animal cruelty and potential human health risks. Video footage from the farm shows thousands of endangered sea turtles being kept in dirty, packed touch tanks. Swimming in water filled with their own waste, the turtles fight for food, bite each other and even resort to cannibalism. Many suffer from disease and birth defects, such as injured fins or missing eyes. Please join me and 1000s of turtle lovers worldwide - sign the petition and spread the word among your friends, Facebook , Twitter to stop this cruelty to turtles.www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/553/308/735/

Unbelievably its not just abroad that this is a problem.. this year I have had reports of one pet shop owner suggesting to a lady who wanted help with her chinese soft that he would sell it for her to an asian woman to eat! Worse still he still sells chinese soft shells!!!!!!! I have also been approached and requested to sell my rescues for the exotic dinner plate for £5 each.. which I still have nightmares just thinking about!!!
