What the petition asks
Pet shops do not know how to provide the right care for these reptiles and keep them in the wrong conditions also some are too young to be sold and some are sold when they are ill and die later on.
I bought a tortoise from the local pet shop it was way to young to be sold a little time later it died. I'm not happy with the conditions these poor animals are kept in and I would like it stopped. I would not like any other person or the poor reptiles to experience this.
