Rare Species
These tortoises were rare and called radiated tortoises. They’re hardly spotted in the wild, and only a handful call the area home. It now made sense to the group while those people had them.
Victims of Poaching
Because they are rare, they’re often poached. Some people eat them but most like them as pets. Regardless, it’s against the law to keep them. That made it a crime and a heinous one at that!
