1. Environmental harm: Brazilian tortoises are also called "ecological killers", and they have been listed as one of the alien invasive species in China. After they are released, they can cause a lot of harm to nature. First of all, they are harmful to the environment. They have extremely low requirements for the living environment, strong adaptability and are not picky about food. If they are released into the wild, they may prey on aquatic plants and animals in rivers, resulting in the extinction of native species in China.
2. Seize native turtle resources: Secondly, they have strong reproductive ability and more reproductive quantity. If they are released into nature, they will compete with native turtles for resources. Coupled with their fierce character, it is difficult for native turtles to survive.
3, easy to flood: Finally, they have no natural enemies in China, so it is easy to flood over time.
2. What should I do if I don't release the tortoiseIf I don't want to raise the tortoise, I can choose to sell it. Now many tortoise sellers also have recycling services, and breeders can sell the tortoise to the merchants.
Or donate to an aquarium or an animal protection society. Generally, the local aquarium or animal protection society will take it in.
If there is no institution to take it in, the breeder can choose to give it to relatives and friends. Although artificially raised Brazilian tortoises are not as fierce as wild ones, their nature is the same. If breeders don't want to raise them, they should never release them.
