Relocate giant Tortoises to a bigger, better, and more natural place!
- recipient: The Berjaya Hotel in the Seychelles
Large, friendly and old tortoises live in deplorable conditions at the Berjaya Hotel on the island of Mahé in Seychelles. The hotel has 2 "sanctuaries" / "rooms" for these turtles but the spaces where they live is simply too small, dirty, it stinks (they live in their own poop and pee). They have only sticks and leaves to eat and the water bath (which can not even be described as a water bath) is simply filthy.
The bottom / ground of the 2nd space is made of concrete. The turtles in this room slide with their belly / shield over the concrete and here too the water bath is dirty! Here too there were some sticks and leaves for them to eat. It was a very sad sight ....
The Berjaya Hotel resort and Casino at Beau Vallon, Mahé, has a huge beautiful large garden with lots of shade. What I want is for the Berjaya Hotel to make another living space for these turtles in their lush garden, or to send them to a sanctuary. They need a bigger living space that is more natural and cleaner. We should also ensure that the water bath / pool is cleaned every day, with no more concrete to live on, and trees to shelter under and enough food to give.
I also want the Berjaya Hotel to work in consultation with Nature Seychelles. Perhaps they could take refuge with other local turtles at their Cousin Island Seychelles.
Please sign the petition to demand that these giant tortoises are treated right, and sent to a large, natural sanctuary space where they can be happy!
