Tortoise rescue

[Catherine]

There is a dedicated group of Humane Society people that go out to future housing developments and dig up the Gopher Tortoises form their burrows. If they are not rescued, they will be trapped in their burrows by all the construction and will die slowly.

The tortoises did not ask to have a housing development built over their land. They were there first. We just assume land is empty because we cannot see who lives there.
Three cheers for the rescuers.
