Massive Sulcata tortoises have become a popular American family pet
- throwanem 10y agoI can think of one way to dissuade irresponsibly breeding them for the pet trade, but it'll only work if they taste good. (As you downvote, consider: what the hell else is there to do with a bunch of surplus 100- to 200-pound tortoises jettisoned by people who didn't put enough forethought into their choice of pet?)
