tesco have begun to sell LIVE turtles in their Beijing stores sold to customers for turtle head soup etc. They are kept in a kind of deli counter until bought. this is cruel and unnessesary. Im sure you could argue that it is part of the local food but Tesco should feel that this is not something they shoould do. they should take a stand for animals and stop thinking about profits for one moment. yes people eat them in beijing but what happens when there are lots more people from beijing living in england etc, will tesco start stocking them here because it what people from beijing eat? NO because everyone would start protesting for animal rights. If its wrong here it shouldnt be right there, animals deserve to be treated correctly all over the world and doing this to a species that some countries are trying to protect makes it even more wrong. Boycott Tesco Please it isnt right.

I agree with the above comment. I don’t see how this is different from the sale of any other type of meat for consumption . . . especially lobster. Humans are omnivores, I don’t see a problem with this.

I am curious as to how humanely these turtles will be killed to make the soup, but I don’t really see this as any different as the numerous tanks of crabs and lobsters you see everywhere.
