Victory over Tortoise smugglers!

Might be of interest to Wildlife Warrior and other Tortoise enthusiasts. Some great news on the capture of a tortoise smuggler.

Im glad to hear this...it's great that he got captured and will hopefully face a punishment. Now i can hope that this will highlight the smuggling problem that the world has with these rare and often endangered creatures, it will still carry on even though this man has been caught as it is big money business to many but hopefully it can be stopped...some way or another.
