Rehome - yellow bellied sliders
I urgently need to rehome a pair of Yellow Bellied Sliders but so far have been unsuccessful as I have been told the law has changed regarding this particular type of turtle. Can anyone help please? I really don't want to have them put to sleep...

Hello Julie not sure where you are located but I have just seen there is a turtle rescue in Kent and the contact details are Michael on 07817459733. A sanctuary is your only option for re-homing them otherwise it is putting them to sleep which you obviously don't want to do. Good luck Mary

Appears to be a non-registered charity.

That link you provided - I wonder how on earth he affords to run it? Certainly a lot of turtles per pond. He can't possibly check on them all regularly. I see also there is a £45 charge for each turtle passed to him - that really is 'opening a can of worms' legally. |

Where are all the turtle/terapins going if nobody steps up, I can tell you where in lakes and ponds or just dumped wherever. |

Should he have to stop though that is going to be a major problem with that number. |

I wonder what the change in the law is and whether it is primary or secondary legislation.
It seems to me that if there is a change which requires registration of charities onto a central register then there is usually going to be a regulatory body set up who can impose any statutory powers. To my mind as long as within the legal framework, whether a sanctuary is a registered charity or not (it costs a lot of capital and turnover to be registered) it should be considered where there is a recommendation from a approved or recognised authority. |
