Is there some reason they can’t be released back to the desert?

Why don’t they just dump the things into their own natural habitat?
Other animals gotta eat too...

Why don’t they adopt them out, like they do the wild horses?

They could also offer them to zoos around the world, so other countries citizens can see and learn about them.

here’s an idea, release them back into the desert.

“...As the housing boom swept through southern Nevada in the 2000s, the tortoise budget swelled. But when the recession hit, the housing market contracted, and the bureau and its local government partners began struggling to meet the center’s $1 million annual budget.”
An almost perfect metaphor for the democrat party. And we’re the turtles....

In a Just World, or even in a Nation of Laws, the penalty for
deliberately euthanizing an endangered desert tortoise would be no less than the penalty for
accidentally running one over with a dune buggy.
A hundred tortoises, a hundred times the penalty of one...

Why don’t we reduce welfare so-called “benefits” for the looter class and save the tortoises? The tortoises are at least kind of... well, not cute, exactly, but not downright ugly, right?

They are everywhere. Interesting that the OP shows the "habitat" but not the animal itself...

Don't you people undstand that the GovernMental EnvironMental Comyoonutty had already decared these critters EXTINCT!!! (of course the govermint can't release them because then folks will find out THEY'RE STILL ALIVE!!!)
The reason they were endangered is that their preditors, the Bald Eagles and the Condors were eating all the tortoises while they were under the protection of the govermint due to them being threatened by DDT!!!
Meanwhile, multi-millions of tax dollars and uncountable losses in business dollars have suffered through exercices in futility called MITIGATION!!! (enforced on legitimate business losing the "War On The WEST!")
Cain't you guys rememmer any of this stuff suffocating both naychur and our economy? Of course you can!!!
Thanks for posting this artickle Mr. George76, thank you very much.

It’s not difficult to understand why the government would simply kill them all rather than release them or adopt them out. It’s a straightforward hostage situation:
“Restore our funding through other means, or we’ll kill the hostages.”
They’ll probably start by killing them a few at a time to see if new funding appears.

They had to destroy the tortoise in order to save it.
