Stop Breeding Turtles with No Eyes

Breeders are intentionally blinding turtles by purposely breeding them with a gene mutation of having no eye sockets, and no eyes for the benefit of pet collectors who enjoy the "unusual'.

This type of deprivation, to intentally deprive an animal of sight is a form of torture- nothing short of barbaric animal cruelty. Sight is one of the very basic senses animals rely on as instinct.

To have one born blind, is one thing. To see to it that it will be born blind is willful cruelty. Tell turtlesale.com to stop profiting from this abuse by selling these blind turtles, the "No Eyed Red Ear Slider Turtle".
