#BuyToysNotTurtles Part 2
As many of you mentioned when sharing part 1, impulse buys of turtles are a major problem after movies like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are released. Kids get excited and tell their parents how much they want a turtle! Kids can be determined and parents can want to appease them without thinking, and the outcome is another wave of unwanted and often mistreated turtles and tortoises.
Shelters are overrun with these types of turtles. people don’t know what to do with them and they often end up illegally ‘released’ into the wild ( which is inevitable death for the animal or other animals in the area), neglected to death, or abandoned like this little one.
The problem is real. Its been 2 weeks since the release of TMNT2 so now is an important time to spread this message. Remind your friends, followers, and tell them to tell theirs to spread the word too.
here’s the PSA again BUY TOYS NOT TURTLES I’ll post it on its own over the weekend. Stay tuned for part 3 on Thursday.
