Bob- 42 pound African spurred tortoise
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated"
- Ghandi
There is not enough space on the Internet that would allow me to comment about how wretched and inhumane of an act towards such a gentle creature.
How Sad for the little boy as well, who Bob the tortoise was able to help. For his sake alone I hope Bob makes a recovery.
I am sure the bond is strong and a mutual benefiting friendship for both
With that said it is more important to focus on the solution rather than the
atrocity. For more detailed information go to link below -

I will donate a limited number of stone creations to help in the cost of bringing BOB THE TORTOISE back to a healthy place and space.
For basic concept view pictures below

The image will be the likeness of a African spurred tortoise. Carved into stone with a iron oxide inlay. These stone planters will be similar to what you see in the pictures below. Of course they will have the image of a tortoise.
Below are 2 planters with Kanji symbols: "devotion ", the other is "little treasure" with iron oxide inlay. The next one is of a dragonfly, last is a tortoise door knocker. I am showing you these as a example to get a visual idea.

ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO BOB THE TORTOISE FUND
Planter size 12'by12" or 8"by16"

Perhaps I can create a few tortoise door knockers for BOB THE TORTOISE
The link's above will help giving you a better concept
Meanwhile I will get to work creating a African spurred tortoise image in stone. For you to see. And will get the pictures up shortly
