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
For examples of similar planters and more detailed information go to :

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.
To get more easy care info and history on plants go to :

ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO BOB THE TORTOISE FUND
Planter size 12'by12" or 8"by16"
Donation price $47 plus shipping
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

I want to thank you for all the support, and your kind words. Your art work is beautiful!!. Bob came out of his shell for the first time today, when he heard my son and I speaking. I had not seen Bobs eyes in a week. Bob is an amazing tortoise he is our hero many times over, he has helped my son, survived a brutal attack,and for how he united a community to pull together to show that the "bad guys" wil not prevail.
Thank you for this wonderful site.
