It really upsets me to have to write this, but it seems that we have had a tortoise taken today without being paid for!
Needless to say this is absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable!
I try to be as open and friendly as I can with animals that we have in the shop and anyone who comes into us knows how amenable I am to show these amazing animals off to people.
I can't believe that someone has taken advantage of my good nature by doing this.
Not only is it wrong but the animal would of been taken with no thought to its care!
It needs to be in an appropriate setup and not thw house or garden!
We have CCTV innthe shop covering the area and we will be releasing it tomorrow. I'm offering an opportunity for the person responsible to return the Tortoise with no thing further being done about it.
The tortoise on question is Hermann tortoise and has a microchip as required by law to accompany the Article 10 certificate it also requires. Making it illegal to purchase without the paperwork.
If anyone knows the whereabouts of the tortoise then please drop me a message.
Thanks
Andy
