The Criminals
The people who had these tortoises had to pay for their crimes. Not only did they illegally hoard the tortoises, they also abused them. People certainly wanted to see them pay for their crimes, and when they went to court, the judge did not take it easy on them. Now, just like the tortoises did, the criminals know what it feels like to be confined and controlled.

Another Crime Involving Radiated Tortoises
This was not the only crime associated with Radiated Tortoises. In 2016, a small group of Chinese men were arrested and jailed after it was found that they were trying to smuggle over 300 Radiated Tortoises from Madagascar to China. The leader of the group was sentenced to 11 years in prison. The other members of the group received sentences ranging from 21 months to seven years.
