Sick Sick Humans!!!!!!!!!

Well done you! I would have probably taken the poor thing away with me.......

Kudos to you for taking care of this mess. Schools here have canned the habit of a school mascot as they were called. It was okay for a while, then everyone would tire of it and poor bunny, guinea pig or hamster would get to be so neglected they would get rid of it - never found out how.

Thank you for stepping up for this sweet turtle when it seems no one else would. Has anything happened with this regarding the Humane Society?

I Guess you were sent into that office for a reason...thank you for helping the poor box turtle who is obviously suffering

I guess the humane association does nothing, they told me to call the local police. The police said they would check in on the animal. I tried to emphasize that the animal does not have adequate access to water (the one law we have) and that the species could be illegal. I figure they might take it more seriously if the species is illegal. I found out iguanas and exotic boas are illegal here. No wonder I never see them for sale.

Thanks for doing your best to help the little thing.
Good vibes headed up to Michigan in hopes that something is done.
I find it neat that there are numerous animals illegal as pets in Michigan. I would think it would help discourage quite a few people from getting them just because they are 'cool'. In most places here in Arkansas pretty much nothing is illegal. Except piranhas. :]

I'm so glad you are stepping in to help the little turtle. Most class room pets I see are in bad shape too. Or tortured by the kids in the class. Animals can be a great educational tool, but not for most class rooms.
