Awareness of Animal Cruelty
People are caught, arrested, and charged with crimes like these all of the time, but it keeps happening over and over. People like this tend to look over the fact that these animals are living, breathing creatures who can feel pain. Instead, they are too focused on money and greed. Also, keep in mind that a lot of these animal smugglers are selling the animals into the pet industry, and many people have even started to boycott the industry as a whole.

What About the Survivors?
When all was said and done, a little less than 9,000 of the tortoises were able to survive. But, the team now had another problem…what could they do with thousands of tortoises? The experts were not confident that the tortoises would survive in the wild, but they were also unsure if there was any place that could accommodate the remaining animals. They were out of the woods, health wise, but they were essentially homeless. After all that they had been through, the tortoises deserved the best.
