Are Tesco Still Guilty Of Selling Live Food in China??

[BubbyT-KortneyFlint]

Here's my letter to Tesco:: Please, don't entirely copy and paste it, make it your own, keep it law-abiding, but hopefully, let yourself be sensibly inspired by it, for the sake of all the turtles in the world!!!



To Terry Leahy


Surprise me, and read to the end of my letter, and then, do something about it in favour of turtle conservation!!!

In China, and all over the world, there is a religion called Buddhism that is NOT in favour of needlessly, unlawfully, mercilessly disrespecting, depleting and KILLING animals!!!

You are guilty of this!! I know that you like to project an image, for your company and yourself, of consciencious, generous, caring and environmentally friendly!! I wish to God that my plea for you to STOP condoning and taking part in all the processes and wrongs of eating turtle meat, would not fall on your, thus far, uncaring, selfish, ignorant ears!! It may be fine with you that the only turtles who survive in this world are those whom are saved by being bred captively , and I am in favour of compassionate-led captive breeding, there is no doubt of that - But the fact that the ONLY turtles, tortoises, and MANY other creatures, whom are likely to manage to survive are those born into Captive environments - is NOT fine with me or with millions of people; Neither is it fine with masses of dependent eco-systems/animal species, world wide!! (All of which, by the way, when exhausted and dead, beyond hope, will similarly affect the human race as well!!!)

I can, and from now on, will take part in law-abiding efforts to stop it from making business sense for you to continue to allow the horrific treatment and eventual death of these creatures! People will not die, or sicken terribly from NOT eating turtle meat; our survival no longer depends on eating turtle meat!! It is archaic, caveman-like, less than intelligent, and much less than forward-thinking!!! IT HAS TO BE STOPPED!! Yes, you have fundraised for charities like The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, and because of this, you have me, and some others, over the barrell YOU keep those poor, tortured turtles in, because I have 2 friends (who were sisters to one another) whom died, as children of MD. BUT I also have a responsibility to be kind, and an even bigger responsibility to prevent the deterioration of the planet my God-daughters are inheriting!!! I do not have to use Tesco to survive, and to help others to survive!!!

Perhaps, Tesco needs a new, more consciencious leader..? Perhaps, I, and others like me, should write to those above you, and say so?! Or, perhaps, you should do something to keep your job, your company's profits, as well as your own, and to save the turtles??? STOP Condoning the sale of turtle meat - STOP SELLING LIVE TURTLES AND TURTLE MEAT!!!
