It is mean but i think as long as people keep buying them, they will continue to sell them...

Can a turtle be frozen and survive?

[TNTurtles]

obviously they can do and thaw them out well enough to sell them...i dont see how it wouldn't create future problems. You have to be asking for an expensive vet visit if you buy from there.

Ok, just to set the record straight on the "freezing" of turtles. They don't literally FREEZE the turtles, they put them in a suspended hibernation which is called freezing. So they force them into hibernation, only bringing them out when they are to be sold.

That explains why a lot of them are sick when people buy them. That just frustrates me.

oh oh cause i thought like they actually put them in a frezzer and take them out and thaw them

Wow..that does seem pretty cruel and it sounds logical to think that they will wind up having some sort of health problems in the future.
