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

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.

I guess the humane association does nothing

Fat lot of use they are

Not really their fault, they don't have power of anything to enforce animal laws. We don't have cruelty laws to enforce anyway. We don't have an actual animal control and we don't have any spca's.

Any update on the poor little turtle?

I didn't get to speak to the police again and I haven't gotten a chance to sneak back into the office and check, but I'm told the turtle is still there. I'm trying to get the interest of the humane association to do some sort of campaign and of the school districts to ban class pets.

Did you call anyone from the Wildlife Association?? Sometimes vets are no help, unless you find one who specializes in the species. Bless you for taking care of him. Please keep us posted.
