Another reply from a bird park and zoo just off lynwood raod
Thank you for your email, unfortunately we do not sell tortoises to public, so I will be unable to assist.
Kind Regards,
So according to law if you can source one legally you can get a permit, but according to zoo's you can't source one legally
Where do I source one legally then???
Feeling a bit frustrated with trying to do the right thing but not getting anywhere. I think it's the worst thing ever to buy one next to the road, but am starting to understand why some people just go for the easy route. Those trying to be legal not getting anywhere and those illegal getting their way. VERY FRUSTRATING
By making it this difficult to be legal, aren't they feulling the illegal trade that's decimating our fragile natural resources.
Well thats my two cents
Really hoping the THA will be able to help me next week friday 27 May.
as they seem to be my best chance
