Book 32, Question 138
Why shouldn’t you take a wild turtle home?
A wild turtle knows its home territory, where it finds food, water, and places to hide.
If it is taken away, it may not survive. Many turtles live for decades, so it would be a very long commitment. In many places, collecting wild turtles is not allowed, since some kinds are rare. Look and learn, take a photo, and leave the turtle where you found it.
