I feel sorry for them. I'm glad I bought my turtle on the day they came in so those sales clerks wouldn't have had the chance to mistreat them. Too bad I was only able to save 2.

Well, technically you saved 2 but you also helped fueling the turtle trade. Soon other two poor animals will replace the ones you bought. Buying them is not a solution.
