** PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION HERE**

The main objective of the TPG is to campaign for a ban
on the importation of tortoises bound for the UK pet trade.

It is clear that the 1984 and 1999 bans to prohibit
the capture and distribution of tortoises being taken from
the wild are failing miserably. Since Slovenia joined the EU
in 2004, tortoise trade has escalated out of control and tortoises of dubious origin, many of which are DEFRA certified, are being imported to the UK to satisfy the pet
trade and at the same time, line the pockets of
uncaring, greedy dealers who have no thought for the welfare
of their "stock". The tortoises are sold on, often with
inappropriate set-ups and with the wrong, little, or no information at
all for their ongoing care.

We, as a group need to highlight these problems,
increase awareness and campaign to stop the importation
of tortoises for the pet trade once and for all.

Together we can make a difference.
