"Illegal tortoise trade is happening in Britain" (DEFRA, 2004).

An estimated 10 million tortoises were shipped into the UK for the
pet trade between 1890 and 1984 before the initial ban was
introduced. This trade is back! … and tortoises are being imported
in substantial numbers. However, DEFRA are failing to prevent this
illegal trade and are in fact licensing it. These tortoises go
through untold misery and often arrive here with chronic worm
infestations and dehydrated, which far too often contributes to
their early demise.

The Tortoise Protection Group (TPG) is campaigning for a ban on the
importation of tortoises for the pet trade. Please help us keep
tortoises in their natural environment by signing the TPG petition
and kindly forward details of the petition to all you contacts.
