It goes back to the old saying i suppose "if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all"

This forum has a reputation for being informative and friendly lets keep it that way.

I too was upset by recent events but tried to be constructive as i believe this is the only way through a sensitive matter such as this one and i hope alot of people where able to talk things through with the younger members of their family this has been a learning curve for everyone. Dervla's choice to keep out of it seems like a very sensible and mature one to me, she is going to grow into a very sensible and responsible young lady im sure, she is already doing an excellent job. Its too easy to let the heart rule the head.

i think recent situations have just been a bit desperate and it is easier to react to angrily than to be constructivly critical. im sure that things will now return to a more friendly and helpfull nature. sorry if i have said anything out of place or offended anyone. i think we could all learn a thing or two over what has occurred in recent weeks

this posting is a bit ironic considering how nasty people have been on another posting which is running at present, I think everyone should think before they hurt others there is to much of that going on the world without us having to join in.

I agree and some people on this forum should think before they hurt and kill their tortoises especially when they have been given help and advice on a daily basis for months and months and still choose to ignore it.

Yes it has been opened so that others can have their say, most of it is needed and i am disgusted and very very upset that this tortoise has had to die.

I am new(ish) to this forum, and this is my first post and I don't want to upset anyone BUT...

If all of you have been having concerns for a year, over the care of an animal, can I ask if anyone called in the RSPCA to take a look at the situation? If not, why not, and if not then I think that despite all the help and advice you have all have been kind enough to give, then everyone should take some responsibility for recent sad events. A 14 year old is not responsible enough to be in charge of ANY animal, let alone one who takes so much looking after and I feel this case should have been handed over to someone in a position to do something about it.

Just my opinion
