Another tortured animal story that looks like it’s going to have a happy ending — Bob the tortoise is expected to recover, and go home to resume his important occupation as a 6 year old autistic boy’s beloved pet: http://www.contracostatimes.com/bayandstate/ci_6414650
Bob did not lose his legs (though he apparently did lose one toe), and a suspect has been arrested.

Jeez...a turtle? I’m glad it will have a good ending too. I’m also glad stories like this get out, so that ‘some’ peope ‘may’ think twice about hurting an animal. THanks for the stories...if you have a ping list about stuff like this, add me on :)
Thank you for posting that, GS.
Soon after I posted my comment, there was an update on the story reported on the local news. The suspect’s parents must be so proud...
