You figure after 10 years the dope would have learned better husbandry.

.I couldn't even finish watching that . It was getting me sick. His beak was so over grown...so were his nails. He must have been starving to run after him like that and everything that he did that he thought was "trained" was nothing short of torture

it even offended my daughter.
I hope someone steals that poor thing.

thats sad!!! i could even get through watching half of that!!!!

That was really painful to watch.

At first I thought how cute.. then I saw the close ups & it just went down hill from there until I couldn't finish watching.

PHRatz

If that isn't animal cruelty I don't know what is. The guy kept saying, "he's telling me he likes this"....crazy, circus sick. Overgrown upper jaw and claws is what happens when raised on carpet, that can't be comforting, eventually it will effect the BT's ability to feed. I think that BT desirves much better than being a circus freek. The owner may be well intentioned and thinks that it is impressive to show the intelligence compairable to a dog, but I think he needs to think about what is best for the turtle, rather than his own ego.
