Dead sick turtle by mail...

Dead sick turtle by mail...

Then you think you have seen most of the turtle suffering....

Today a PostNL received a package with a deadly sick turtle inside, wet from its own plas. no sender. I hope that the sender will let me know what the history of this turtle is....

The turtle floats crooked, has snot and mucus so a pneumonia to catch. This is going to cost a few hundred euros in medication and so on.

Should this ever happen to anyone, let us know, then we will think along and even get the turtle, do not send them by post anyway that is outright animal abuse and punishable! Of course, putting them out in nature is not a solution either. But sending it is really a NO-GO!

We will try via PostNL to find out where the turtle was delivered.

Who can and wants to help with the costs? Every euro helps. https://www.ing.nl/particulier/betaalverzoek/index.html?trxid=Ik60rL6rNjBYneLLoJEGTwilNfxB9Nia
