I suppose some people just see tortoises as a fashion accesory rather than an actual animal that they want to care for.

i would love to meet the guy who did that. I'd be very tempted to do some of my own drilling and maybe super glue his clothes on him, see how he'd like it

this was common behaviour in the bad old days, it was used to control our little buddies from wandering off. Fortunately, this kind of callous treatment is now reviled. |
