Why not. I heard that complaint when the original was aired. I saw him as a passionate chelonian keeper who spared no expense to his passion... and I get the impression it cost him.

Ironicly... the city nailed him and when he tried to start up Tweksbury... he got nailed again... on... what I see as stupid technicalities... it was destined to fail... and could have brought a good amount of revenue to the state in terms of conservation advertisement on a world wide scale.

I only met him once but I got the impression his heart is in the proper place.

>>Its an interesting watch but it focuses too much on Richard and not enough on the turtles cause. I felt it dived far too much into the eccentricity of the moment and could have been a great educational piece on the ecological peril of turtles & tortoises globally.
