Tackling the turtle threat - it's real.

Donna usually has 80 to 90 turtles at home depending on her ability to rehouse the critters.  Turtles live for 50 plus years and the problem is that as pets they tend to out live their owners. She's calling for a ban on turtle breeding for the pet industry in New Zealand -  of particular concern the Red -eared Slider turtle. Donna's winter power bill gets up to a thousand dollars a month and she's paying that herself. Its the cost of caring for turtles and their welfare when others have lost interest.
