Thanks for that info. Don’t understand why the different policies between the states but they may not either:)
It is hard to understand the whole euthanasia thing after all the years disruption that’s been caused.
The Colorado River forms a natural barrier to infected tortoise migration. Since most of the pulmonary problems occur in Cal tortoises, Arizona doesn't seem to have the zero-tolerance mentality of their Cal counterparts. Or so I've experienced. Both states, though, don't want you releasing captive tortoises back into the wild. They encourage adoption.
Now why this sanctuary in Nevada is not encouraging adoption is baffling. I don't get it.
